PETALING JAYA, Nov 26 (Bernama) -- Come 2012, Selangor could face a water crisis if the stakeholders involved in water management failed to come up with early solutions, said Syarikat Bekalan Air Selangor (Syabas) chief operating officer Datuk Lee Miang Koi.
He said that based on Syabas' calculation, households in the state were using 212 litres of water per person daily, which was quite high as compared to other countries.
"Singapore, for example, only consumes 156 litres daily per person. In addition, the water demand, especially in developed states likes Selangor, keeps increasing from year to year," he said.
Lee was speaking at the Selangor Water Forum entitled 'Water Demand Management' here Friday.
The forum was jointly organised by University Teknologi Mara, University Malaya and Water Association of Selangor, Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya.
Lee said, in term of revenue, the industrial sector in the state was paying more than the domestic because the rates were different, with the former contributing 65 per cent.
