Water Quality in Malaysia.
This rapid growth leads to an increased demand for water and spiked levels of water pollution.
These are consequences of untreated or only partially treated sewage.
Lakes and reservoirs serve as domestic, industrial, agricultural, hydroelectric, navigational and recreational sources of water.
The National Water Quality Monitoring Programme added new rivers in the area to control the presence of Biochemical Oxygen Demand, Ammoniacal Nitrogen and Suspended Solids.
With the development of the Department of Environments to control the water quality problem and the National Water Quality Monitoring Program to decrease pollutants in the water supply, water quality in Malaysia is improving significantly.
This system significantly improves the water quality in Malaysia.
Malaysia continues to work on improving its water quality through these fragmented agencies, but these efforts are not enough to completely salvage the quality.
Focusing on creating a cohesive and binding system in Malaysia would improve the water quality while also ensuring that agencies have a legal obligation to comply with monitoring practices.
