Observation

To consolidate thesolution of water
issues; managing
floodwater,reduce
flood effect anddrought risks

Development on floodplain zone!!!

Asian Water Cycle Initiative (AWCI) in Asia - PacificClimate change effectTemperature:• Increase in mean surface temperature: 0.6°C to 1.2°C , 1969-2009(MMD)

Rainfall• Increased rainfall intensity -> 1-hour rainfall intensity (2000-2007)
increase by 17% compared to 1970s values (NAHRIM)• “Above average” rainfall cause flood losses RM 1.5 billion

In 2007: Massive floods in Batu Pahat, Johor Baru, Kluang, Kota Tinggi, Mersing, Muar, andSegamat ->Typhoon Utor

In 2014: Massive floods in Kuantan, Pahang and Kelantan

Sea Level Rise• 4.6 cm to 11.9 cm, satellite altimetry data (1993-2010)

Asian Water Cycle Initiative (AWCI) in Asia - Pacific•Water resources as national agenda; development and investment•Water security and build climate resilience•In managing water resources, require data integrity (sustainable, reliableand sufficient)•Data management framework – require enterprise architecture;• Water resources management system gateway

Data collection and management for decision process; Water resources data; online and manual from designated station
 Application system;

flood forecasting and warning (40 river basins, RM550mill, 2015 – 2022, 7days
forecasting and 2 days warning)
national water balance (phase 1, 5 river basins, RM45mill, 2016 – 2020; phase 2, 9 river
basins, RM100mill; phase 3, 19 river basins, RM190mill) Utilisation of flood water; not to discharge and waste•

Data sharing; interagency from provider to user with protocol

Asian Water Cycle Initiative (AWCI) in Asia - PacificDevelopment• Solving for the future; implementation and operation
 New approaches, integrate water related project More innovative solution including science based• Basin management is extremely complex; conflict resolution• Management of basins in growing development• River basin study to develop management plan;access the present scenario and plan for the future (25 plan, 2016 –2020)• Providing sufficient budget to execute the action planAsian Water Cycle Initiative (AWCI) in Asia - Pacific

Guiding principle• National Water Resources Policy, thrust;• Water for people• Water for food and rural development• Water for economic development• Key Area, focus area;• Water resources security• Water resources sustainability• Partnership• Capacity building and awarenessAsian Water Cycle Initiative (AWCI) in Asia - Pacific

Legislation• Water Resources Bills, covers;• Water resources usage• Planning• Protection of water resources area
• Water hazard control• Activity control• Licensing• Enforcement• Offences and penalties• Repeal and savingsAsian Water Cycle Initiative (AWCI) in Asia - Pacific
