Langat and its tributariesoriginate from the headwaters in the hills and flow through districts and urban centers such as Hulu Langat, Seremban, Sepang, Petaling, Perbadanan Putra Jaya, Federal Territory Kuala Lumpur, Klang, and Kuala Langat before reaching the Straits of Malacca
Flows through 3 statesSelangor Negeri Sembilanthe Federal Territory

Land and water a state matter, but where a river (not river basin) is trans-boundary and where there are conflicts, Federal Govt can intervene
Over-arching policies, focus on economic developmentsVisionary Scale: Vision 2020

Selangor State has LUASLUAS or
Selangor Waters Management Authority, enacted by State legislation in 1999
LUAS has the authority and responsibility for the integrated management of all water resources in the state and hence possesses the legal authority to coordinate the development of the Sungai Langat river basin. Negeri Sembilan does not possess a similar body.
