SYNOPSIS

Make Water Safety Plan Work

As  an  extension  of  the  Millennium  Development  Goals,  the  Sustainable  Development Goals (SDGs) were drafted to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure prosperity for all. One  of  the  SDGs  is  to  ensure  availability  and  sustainable  management  of  water sanitation  for  all. As  water  scarcity  is  also  making  its  way  into  Malaysia, water security and water safety planning is needed to ensure investment in adequate capacity building as well as infrastructure and  facilities at every level. Protecting water-related ecosystems such as forests, mountains, wetlands and rivers is essential if we are to ensure water security and adequate renewable freshwater. Inevitably, the success of WSP will be the nucleus to support the framework of IWRM.

The title of ‘Make Water Safety Plan Work’ therefore  stretches  your  imagination  to  the wider perspective of the implementation of water agenda for good water planning and governance for a secured water future where the environmental risk factors, such as contamination of water from source to consumers are taken into consideration.
