The NPWSS is a strategic initiative by the federal and state governments to address long-standing water shortages in northern Perak.

The project is designed to transfer up to 1,500 million litres of raw water daily from Sungai Perak to Bukit Merah Dam. Of the total, 500 million litres per day will support irrigation needs, while the remaining supply will cater to domestic and industrial demand, including the Kerian Integrated Green Industrial Park.
