TRANSBOUNDARY WATER MANAGEMENT ISSUES AND APPLICATIONS OF RIVER WATER QUALITY MODELING IN INTEGRATED CATCHMENT MANAGEMENT
1 March 2010
Best Western Premier Seri Pacific Hotel, Kuala Lumpur
Workshop Objectives
- To address the challenges of transboundary water management, which refers to water management processes that straddle at least one political jurisdiction, either within a nation (between states) or across an international boundary.
- To address integrated catchment management from a water quality perspective, the various states of Malaysian rivers as well as river water quality modeling applications that have tremendously assisted in the management proceedings.
- To introduce participants to the usage of model as a tool, in preventing water quality degradation, as a result of proposed development, including those related to river rehabilitation initiatives.
