Niaga SPOTLIGHT: Integrated Water Resource Management
Integrated Water Resource Management (IWRM) in Malaysia faces significant challenges due to rising urbanisation, climate change, and outdated infrastructure.
As of 2024, the country’s water demand is projected to increase by 3-5% annually, primarily driven by urban growth and agricultural needs.
60% of treated water is lost through leakage, and water pollution continues to affect key rivers, with only 53% of rivers meeting acceptable water quality standards.
Charles Santiago, Chairperson, National Water Services Commission (SPAN) discusses IWRM via actionable strategies including strengthening regulations, decentralising management, promoting public-private partnerships and enhancing public awareness in order to improve climate resilience.
