AFTER years of intensive development, Malaysia went through a severe water crisis with a number of states having to resort to water rationing. Water is a critical indicator of development gone wrong.

Water shortages and river pollution are now common problems. Due to development pressures, the public authorities in many countries can no longer adequately cope with mounting water problems.

To solve our water woes, a holistic approach is necessary. We can begin as a community to educate ourselves about water management. This source-book presents a step-by-step guide on how to map out our watershed and how to adopt a stream. Also included are tips on how best to save and make use of our water resources.
