SHAH ALAM, May 18 – The state has sufficient water supply for the next four months if the heatwave persists without any rainfall, according to Menteri Besar Dato’ Seri Amirudin Shari.
In a statement, he said Selangor’s seven reservoirs across five districts are operating at 100 per cent full capacity, as of yesterday. This development comes amid the hot weather conditions caused by the El Niño phenomenon.
Amirudin added the four-month projection for water supply is based on the current water demands. As an additional precaution, the state authorities have also identified 98 ponds as alternative water sources, collectively offering an estimated 34 million cubic metres in storage capacity.
Earlier today, the Menteri Besar chaired the Selangor State Executive Council, where three resolutions were passed, including the identification of alternative water sources for the state.
The seven reservoirs include the Sungai Selangor Reservoir, the Sungai Tinggi Reservoir, the Tasik Subang Reservoir, the Sungai Langat Reservoir, the Semenyih Reservoir, the Kolam Off River Storage Labu, the Klang Gates Reservoir, and the Batu Reservoir in Gombak.
