PETALING JAYA: Industry players have put in place measures to mitigate the possibility of water shortages during the dry spell, says Federation of Malaysian Manufacturers (FMM) president Tan Sri Soh Thian Lai.

He said most industries, especially in the Klang Valley, have invested in having their own water treatment plants as well as deep wells in case of water disruptions.
