Peka: Critical water issues in 10 years if environment not protected

Tuesday, 30 Jun 2020 11:51 PM MYT

Its president Puan Sri Shariffa Sabrina Syed Akil said environmental issues such as logging and deforestation if left unresolved could damage and pollute rivers, causing a major impact on water resources. “It also affects the main river which will become shallow due to erosion in the area and will have a major impact on water resources,” she told Bernama in Ayer Keroh here today.

She said intense logging activities had caused rivers to become dirty, narrow and polluted, adding that some loggers did not follow the standard operating procedure and did not provide buffer zones on river banks.
