Water council to propose several ways to safeguard water sources to Sabah government

KOTA KINABALU: The current dry spell has motivated Sabah into finding ways to safeguard its water sources in the state including gazetting water catchment areas and possibly building coastal reservoirs.

Deputy Chief Minister I Datuk Seri Dr Jeffrey Kitingan noted the state needed to protect its water sources to ensure, firstly, that it had sufficient water supply and subsequently to face potentially worse hot seasons in future.
