KOTA KINABALU: Sabah should consider coastal reservoirs instead of the traditional dams to meet future water needs, say engineers.

International Water Association (IWA) members Datuk Dr Amarjit Singh and Lim Sin Poh said that coastal dams would be a two-pronged approach towards resolving not only the water needs but also mitigating the state's perennial flood problems.
