WEAP Analysis of Water Supply and Demand in Langat Catchment of Malaysia

Recently, there have been water shortages in the state of Selangor of Peninsular Malaysia due to pollution from surrounding river tributaries, increase in destruction and degradation of water catchments. This study serves to look into the water demand and supply issues by analyzing the trend and rel...
