Taming Sari 1, 2 |
| 9:00-10:00 | Panel Discussion | What needs to change to enable effective NRW management in Malaysia NRW in Malaysia has remained relatively constant over the past 20 years, despite investments from the Federal Government, State Governments and Private investors. The last series of Federal projects was aimed at establishing a baseline in NRW, enabling a second phase of projects to reduce NRW from these measured baseline levels. This discussion is aimed at determining whether anything has intrinsically changed in NRW Management over the past 20 years, what else needs to change to enable effective NRW reduction, and how low should Malaysia be aiming to reduce its NRW to. The Panel will include senior utility staff, Government representatives, regulators and NRW experts.
