KOTA BARU (Bernama): The Environment and Water Ministry will seek a RM7bil allocation under the 12th Malaysia Plan (12MP) from the Federal Government to resolve water issues in Kelantan holistically.

Its minister, Datuk Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man said this involved three major areas, namely, flood mitigation including the construction of four new dams; replacement of water pipes which are more than 40 years old to reduce non-revenue water; as well as upgrading plants and integrated sewage projects.

"By 2030, we are confident 95% of the water supply problems in the state will be resolved, ” he said after a meeting with Kelantan Mentri Besar Datuk Ahmad Yakob at Kota Darul Naim Complex here Sunday . Tuan Ibrahim said to resolve the water crisis holistically would also involve addressing river and surface water sources in Kelantan.

He also announced that Kelantan would be hosting the national level National Environment Day in October for the first time.
