WATER AND WASTEWATER: THE MALAYSIAN EXPERIENCE

摘要

The 2013 ICWMM Conference was a valuable platform that gathered scientists from all around the world and provided valuable insights on the current issues associated with water and wastewater management not only in Malaysia, but also in other parts of the world. The coming together of scientists and those involved in advising policy makers provided an excellent opportunity for stimulating and informative discussions and presentations. Professor Mazlin Mokhtar stated in his talk that 'water is emotional'. This reinforced the importance of water to our lives and supports the fact that water is a precious resource, one that may gain a considerable emotive response from the general public. Factors such as climate change coupled with increasing population growth have led to an increase in demand for clean water. It is therefore vital that we come together and share our knowledge and experiences in water management and treatment to ensure clean water for all.
