Water is life: Discarded barrels on the banks of Sungai Kim Kim in this file photo. Dr Ahmad believes the river can be saved If effluent input is halted.
JOHOR BARU: The water quality of Sungai Kim Kim in Pasir Gudang here, which is said to be very polluted can still be saved and returned to Class One, says Malaysian Nature Society (MNS) president Prof Dr Ahmad Ismail.
He said it would, however, require the state government, through the relevant authorities, to take immediate action to prevent further pollution in the river.
Industrial effluent and sewage waste are still being discharged into the river, he said.
