PRUDENT USE OF WATER CAN BE ALTERNATIVE WATER SOURCE - DON




SHAH ALAM (Malaysia), April 29 (Bernama) -- Prudent, unwasteful and wise use
of water could be categorised as an alternative water source, said MARA
University of Technology (UiTM) Research and Industry Network deputy dean Prof
Dr Suhaimi Abd Talib.

He said Selangor water users should find ways to use water prudently and
not being wasteful.

"As Selangor gets additional water supply from Pahang and Perak, is water
consumption in the state is excessive or water is not used prudently?" he told
reporters after opening the Selangor Water Forum here Thursday.

He said alternative water sources are not only from rivers, rain or
underground sources, but also through prudent use of water itself.

Suhaimi said the two-day forum would deliberate on the importance of
searching for new or alternative water sources.

He said proposals emanated from the forum would be submitted to the National
Water Services Commission (SPAN) and the National Water Resources Council
(MTAN).
