Malaysia’s groundwater usage below a paltry 3%


BERA: The use of groundwater in Malaysia is at less than 3% despite its capacity of 5,000 billion cubic metres of groundwater resource and regeneration capability of 64 billion cubic metres annually, said Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob.

The Prime Minister said this massive capacity meant that groundwater could be an alternative source of water supply for the country but for now, it is only used as a source of drinking water in Kelantan, Terengganu, Pahang, Sabah and Sarawak.
