Drying up at Sungai Selangor Dam

Global warming and the return of El Nino
is bad news for Malaysian especially those living in Klang Valley.
What that was once enough 10 years ago might not be sufficient today
with rapid urbanization which is becoming an irreversible trend,
source of clean water is becoming scarce



Sungai Selangor Dam at Kuala Kubu Baru,
the main source of clean water for Klang Valley
at 43.79% of its capacity yesterday.

At full capacity on my first visit February 2011.



With a water crisis looming again and this time for real,
something drastic have to be done like speeding up completion of  the Pahang-Selangor Raw Water Transfer Project and
cleaning up or treating the alternative source of water from mining ponds
which have been said to contain trace of heavy metals before pumping it into the Selangor river.
