Welcome to SWAn organization

To kick-start our activities for the year, we would like to cordially invite YOU to attend a Technical Talk by Ir. Dr. Zullkefle bin Nordin, Timbalan Pengarah for the Pahang-Selangor Raw Water Transfer Project.

 

This talk is exclusively arranged for SWAn Members and Not-to-be missed!

 

The Pahang-Selangor Interstate Raw Water Transfer Project aims to meet future Water Demand for Selangor and Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur.

Malaysia has experienced substantial economic development since the 1980s, resulting in increasing water demands in the commercial and industrial development centres. The Selangor / Kuala Lumpur region which is the political, commercial and industrial centre of the nation is the most important focus for these high demands which are expected to continue their rapid growth into the 21st century. However, the water resources available within the Selangor / Kuala Lumpur region will not be able to meet the demands in the near future.

A scheme to transfer water from Pahang to Selangor has been proposed to cope with future water demand shortfalls in Selangor, Kuala Lumpur region and at a later stage, the western part of Negeri Sembilan. Pahang State which lies to the east of Selangor State, possess ample water resources compared with their local demand and has sufficient reserve for interstate transfer. However, the implementation of the dam involves both environmental and social impacts and the project has been formulated based on a flexible project planning and design basis.
