Sabah has to explore an integrated solution in order to have a sustainable water supply development and not rely on a single method in battling the water crisis in the state. International Water Association (IWA) (Coastal Sustainability and Estuarine Development) members Datuk Amarjit Singh and Lim Sin Poh said land and sea should be integrated for the state’s water supply sustainability for the future generation instead of only focusing on building inland dams, and they suggested the construction of coastal reservoirs which are freshwater reservoirs located near shores that can be sited near river mouths with sustainable annual river flow.
