Keywords: Coastal reservoir, water resources, water quality, hydrology, marine structures.

Abstract: The Coastal Reservoir concept is globally recognized as an effective long-term solution to water resources shortage in regions with adequate rainfall but insufficient land area for storage. The concept has been adopted and successfully implemented in many countries, and one of the largest coastal reservoir schemes�the Qingcaosha Reservoir Scheme�currently supplies water to a population of 13 Million in Shanghai. This concept can be similarly implemented in Malaysia which has an abundance of rainwater but faces water supply shortage
