Water rationing in Kuching as shortage becomes critical

Kuching is facing water-rationing as the current drought in Sarawak has made the situation critical, said Deputy Chief Minister Tan Sri Dr George Chan Hong Nam.

The water shortage, triggered by the El Nino phenomenon, initially affected the rural areas and in Sarikei and Mukah Divisions in central Sarawak for a week, but the problem has now spread to southern Sarawak, hitting the state capital as well, he said Sunday.
