Strategies for transforming the Malaysian water sector
1 The Selangor Waters Management Authority Enactment legislated in 1999
replaced an earlier, outdated Waters Enactment of 1920, making it more
appropriate to the State of Selangor. The contemporary relevance of the new
enactment is its incorporation of IWRM principles and practices into the
sustainable development, management, use and conservation of the State’s
water resources.
