ACCORDING to the World Water Vision Report, “There is a water crisis today. But the crisis is not about having too little water to satisfy our needs. It is a crisis of managing water so badly that billions of people – and the environment – suffer badly.”
And that is especially so in beautiful Malaysia. It’s not that we don’t have a lot of water. The country is endowed with a large amount of annual rainfall, biodiversity and natural ecosystem services that ensure the river keeps flowing. Surface water, that is, from rivers and lakes, provides about 97% of the nation’s water demand.
