Abstract Water security in Peninsular Malaysia remains a critical policy challenge due to fragmented governance, urban expansion, and the uneven distribution of freshwater resources. This study aims to address these challenges by establishing a state-level consolidated water security index (CWSI) that integrates five dimensions, eleven indicators and twenty-nine variables.

THE Federal Government, state governments, political parties, civil society organisations, businesses, academia and society at large must focus our energy in the next few months – October to March – to prepare for high water. Flooding is, of course, a common phenomenon in Malaysia. The recent devastating flood in greater Kuala Lumpur and the Klang Valley is an example of a disaster most likely due to climate change and anthropogenic activities of development.
