Leaving No One Behind: Expanding Clean Water Supplies to Rural Population in Sarawak
Sarawak is on a drive to ensure that no one is left behind when it comes to enjoying the basic amenities – utilities, water and electricity. The State water supply coverage is about 80% with rural coverage of about 70%; and a lot of water supply development have to be carried out to close the gap. Despite the abundance of fresh water from the rivers, there are still many villagers especially those isolated and remote communities are left without the supply of piped clean and treated water.

Turning the Tap on Water Capex and Water Tariff - A Review of Water Sector Drivers
The webinar session will review the operating conditions of various state water operators that have migrated to the licensing regime under the Water Services Industry Act 2006 (WSIA 2006) based on revenue, operating cost/expenditure and profit/loss parameters. It will illustrate the rationale behind the need for a full-cost recovery strategy and how do various water operators stack-up in terms of their cost as a percentage of revenue ratio (operating efficiency ratio) vs the already high national average of 94%. This would build the case for an increase in water tariff, being the key framework for the implementation of the Tariff Setting Mechanism (TSM), which have yet to be announced broadly implemented.

Unique Challenges and Experience of Water Operators During COVID-19 MCO
Clean water supply is essential for life. Clean water must be supplied in any situation. The Water Operator is always ready to face any emergency situations and to solve any challenges. What is important is the clean water must reach the home of the user. Having to face an emergency situation is part of the water operator's duties.
The Government-enforced MCO provides a new experience to water operators. The coronavirus is a completely new territory for water operators and at the same time, redefining how the industry thinks about resiliency. There are new things that proved to be daunting for the operators to face. These new things are useful lessons for our water operators and many of the impacts and challenges have been solved by water operators themselves. But some of the long-term effects are still experienced by water operators until now. These long-term effects require the cooperation of all parties to resolve them together.

Conversion of Excess Pressure in Water Supply Distribution (WSD) Networks into Power & Hydrogen Fuel
Change is finally coming to energy, and environmentally-focused governments, companies and investors are eyeing alternative fuel sources like hydrogen to play a role in decarbonization. Global demand for hydrogen is expected to go up. According to the International Energy Agency, China has set a pledge for a million hydrogen powered cars, and the EU has set to deliver net zero carbon emissions by 2050.
In Malaysia, it is estimated:
• 25 MW could be developed from the WSD networks @ 2500 PRVs @10kW/PRV;
• 4,000 tonnes per year of hydrogen generated @55kWh/kg;
• USD 60 million of revenue annually @USD15 per kg of hydrogen delivered; &
• The required capital investment for such a development recovered within less than 5 years

Track Covid-19 through sewage monitoring
With the current testing capacity, testing on clinical samples alone is clearly insufficient to determine the actual scale of the COVID-19 pandemic in the country and we need a different strategy. ALS Malaysia is offering COVID-19 testing services for surfaces, water and air. Various studies have shown that testing for COVID-19 in sewage samples not only has the potential of being an early warning system of the disease, it could also help identifying the area for targeted screening, as well as assessing the effectiveness of the mitigation plans. Join us for this online talk, in which our speaker will cover the concept of wastewater-based epidemiology and how it could be applied to complement the current clinical testing.

Important But Neglected Aspects of Water Treatment Plant Life Cycle
and environmental awareness are driving the need for improved efficiency and sustainability of water treatment plants. Plant owners and operators face constant pressure to save costs in terms of membrane replacements, consumables, energy and labour. Moreover, feed characteristic changes continuously. Operating water treatment plants require continuous optimization of individual process units and chemical dosage. Following SOPs is not enough to maintain the plant performance as operations do not allow inspection of the complex physical-chemical processes inside the individual treatment processes.

Groundwater: Your Goal and Your Geology Determines Your Strategy
Water shortage is common in Malaysia. In some states it is mainly a dry season issue, in other states it is increasingly becoming a perennial problem.
This presentation is advocating that you have to define your goal with a groundwater exploration and then determine your investigations strategy based mainly on the geology of your area, but also other factors. In this process, the goal may have to be modified based on a realistic assessment of the available groundwater resources.
Denmark’s Policy on Groundwater
The consequences of climate changes have a major impact on the quantity and quality of the water resources in general and in combination with ever growing demand for sustainable water reserves, the groundwater resources play a more and more significant role in the overall water management in many areas and regions that traditionally have relied on surface water as the dominant water resource.

Trunk Main Monitoring in Malaysia
The webinar details how a water utility in Malaysia undertook a comprehensive leak and pressure monitoring program as part of a long-term goal of reducing their Non-Revenue Water. In the past, Air Selangor used a variety of techniques to identify leaks and bursts. However, there was still a need for a quicker response to minimise the runtime of leaks/bursts and the disruption caused. Historically, the utility faced a long runtime of leaks before discovery, often due to the remote geographical location of its trunk main network. Furthermore, pressure transients were known to be an issue within the network, but without information of their sources or cause.

Do More To Enforce Environment Laws
- Environmental Issues with Water and Wastewater
When the current Environmental Quality Act was enacted in 1974, Malaysia’s environment was in a significantly better shape. Air and water pollution were yet endemic and the nation’s marine environments were in much better health.
Today, problems relating to the environment are becoming more complex. Environmental issues ought not to be taken lightly as the DOE together with the Malaysian courts are committed to enforce the EQA. Note that where an offence against the EQA or Regulation has been committed by a company, the CEO and company directors may be deemed to be guilty of that offence and risk being put in jail.
