Water Supply in Selangor

We are told we live in a dying world and that we need to be environmental friendly so that we can sustain this world for our future generation. But how many of us in the billions of population take note of this? It is a sad case indeed. 

In Malaysia, first of all I like to address the issue of water running out, especially in the state of Selangor (purportedly the water supply may only last between 2014 and 2019).  The federal government is pushing for a new water plant in another state to transport water to Selangor, but this would be costing us taxpayers much much ringgits. I believe a conserve water policy would be more efficient. The public needs to be educated in how to conserve water in our daily usage. How many of us are guilty of doing our laundry in a half load drum, turning the tap full blast and leaving it on just to brush our teeth, wash our hands or dishes, showering and taking a bath for longer than necessary, washing the car, driveways?.....and the list goes on. 

Stop and take a moment to think how we can conserve water - don't wait till we are out of water and it becomes too late to do anything. More on "how to" tomorrow....meanwhile, I hope you, my readers will realise the importance of this and play your part in saving water :)
