ABOUT LUAS
The establishment of the Selangor Water Management Authority (LUAS) started from a Cabinet directive in July 1997 which asked the Ministry of Agriculture, then the Selangor State Government to study the proposal to establish a body to manage rivers and water resources in an integrated manner by taking Sungai Selangor as a pilot project and Sungai “ Thames ”in the United Kingdom as an implementing model. In this regard, the coordination of roles and jurisdiction between state and federal government agencies has been made to ensure that there is no duplication of functions and responsibilities as well as to smooth the running of this body. Then LUAS was established with the approval of the Selangor State Legislative Assembly which convened on April 9, 1999. The establishment of LUAS is complemented by an enactment, the Selangor Water Management Board Enactment 1999.
