Transcript Water Scenario in Malaysia

This paper shall discuss public private partnership as one of
effective project implementation method and geospatial
technology as a promising and evolving technology to meet
and overcome the global water challenges.
ISSUES & CHALLENGES TO WATER
SUPPLY
 Finite water resources and unequal distribution
(If all the earth's water fit in a gallon jug, available fresh water would equal
just over a tablespoon)
 Climate Change resulting prolong drought, extreme
flood, change in river yield
 Global population is expected to reach 8 to 9 billion by
2050, future water stress more due to increasing
population and rapid development
 Rapid urbanisation and unplanned urbanisation
contribute to water resource pollution
 Poor governance of the river basin and its eco-systems
 Inadequate financing
WATER CYCLE
EFFECTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE TO WATER CYCLE
• PRECIPITATION
• EVAPOTRANSPIRATION
• SURFACE RUNOFF
• CHANGE IN VEGETATION
• INFITRATION
• RIVER FLOW etc
• GROUND WATER
• SEA LEVEL
Expected capital works programe for the next 4 decades,
source works at RM 3.3 billion, assuming per capita demand
will decrease to 180 litres in year 2050
What are the Risks ?
 Water scarcity can become the major limiting factor to
growth. International Food Policy Research Institute
(IFPRI) reported that 4.8 billion people – more than
half the world’s population – and approximately half of
global grain production will be at risk due to water
stress by 2050.
 The study also found that 45% of total GDP ($63
trillion) will be at risk due to water stress by 2050,
which is 1.5 times the size of today’s entire global
economy
Water Scenario in Malaysia
 Basically water is a state matter - the ownership and
control of rivers and canals and the water remains with
the state.
 Water Supply Act WSIA 2006 –Regulate Treated Water
Services in West Malaysia & Labuan
 State Governments responsible for the development,
operation and maintenance of water supplies.
 Federal Government provides soft loans to State
Governments for public water supply infrastructure and
grant for rural water supply development.
 PAAB (MOF Inc.Company) provide finance and leasing
for a specified period
(by the end of 2012)
 T/Plant Installed Capacity 17,901 Mld (design),
15,145 MLD (production)
 Present Demand 14996 Mld.
• Overall National Water Coverage 95 %.
• Population : 28.25 Million (2010)
• Future Population: 47 Million (2050)
461 operated treatment plants
Length of water mains in service is 134,495 km with
Number of connections is 6.83 million
Fostering public-private partnership
against global challenges
 Lacking required fund & to reduce budget
deficit, the government not able to fund the
cost of construction, operation and
maintenance of infrastructure works based
on its tax collection.
 Thus, PPP becomes an option to meet such
funding, and offers win-win solution for the
public, private and members of the
community.
BENEFITS OF PPP



Efficient use of public assets/facilities
Optimal whole life cycle costing
Private sector will optimize whole life cycle cost of a
project leading to lower CAPEX & OPEX
Optimal sharing of responsibilities between
the public and private sectors
 Third party due diligence

The lender to the PPP programme will normally
check the viability of the project which could be
beneficial to the Government
Low life cycle cost will allow lower service
charge, which will benefit the public.
 Would optimize the utilization of scarce
resources.
 Generate new business opportunities to the
private sector - positive impact on the GDP.
The Range of Stakeholder Interests in PPPs
Maximize revenue
Provide universal access to service
Ensure affordable basic service
Promote fair competition
Attract investors
Improve public welfare
Government
Employees
Ensure fair treatment of present
employees
Provide career opportunities
Improve productivity, efficiency and
morale
Consumers
Stakeholder
Interest
Ensure fair pricing
Improve quality and reliability or
service
Increase accountability and
responsiveness
Investors
Ensure stable, transparent
regulatory process
Enable organizational restructuring
and assest allocations that favor
efficient operations
Provide trained human resources
Generate more investment
opportunities
Geospatial technology as solution
 Continuously evolving geospatial technology introduce
innovative /optimal solution to meet the government’s
objective and at the same time bring down a project cost.
 Other core management systems such as customer service,
financial, maintenance management, performance
modeling, capital improvement planning, construction, and
so forth, can be fully integrated and leverage the GIS in order
to achieve maximum efficiency in water operations.
 GIS integration with other core systems could provide map-
based secured user access to essential, timely, utility
information to internal staff, other agencies, and public
users.
 Using GIS analysis and geoprocessing capabilities shall
enhance daily / monthly / annual staff operations, activities,
workflows, and planning.

Conclusion
 Continued application and improvement of geospatial
technology in water supply planning and operation will
lead to total water supply management, providing optimal
solutions while ensuring adequate water supply system in
terms of quantity and quality.
 A defined strategy and road map to achieve improvement
through PPP is required in order to provide clarity and
certainty about the operating environment to private sector
operators, which is crucial for sizable investments and long
payback periods inherent in infrastructure projects.
 Most appropriate approach to communicate and foster PPP
is through an interactive dialogue with all stakeholders.
