I am honored to have been invited by Suruhanjaya Perkhidmatan Air Negara to speak at the Seminar Pengurusan NRW Secara Strategik, held on 27th November 2024 at Opero Hotel, Johor Bahru. This event brought together PETRA, JBA, SPAN, PAAB, and representatives from water operators nationwide. Here’s a summary of my presentation: 1. Pipeline Lifespan I raised the critical question of why our pipelines have a shorter lifespan compared to other countries. Is it due to our practices? Or is it because their pump systems are superior to our gravity-fed systems? Addressing this is essential for long-term solutions. 2. DMA and Pressure Management I emphasized that adopting strategies such as District Metered Areas (DMA) and Pressure Management is not optional—it is a necessity. Any delay in implementing these practices directly impacts the timeline for achieving NRW reduction targets. 3. Holistic Contributions to NRW NRW is not just an issue for one department. It is influenced by contributions from the water treatment plant operations, design, planning and development, operations, distribution and maintenance, water quality, billing, and even the NRW department itself when wrong practices are applied. One critical point I missed during the session is the role of the CEO/General Manager’s office in decision-making. Unfortunately, there are still senior management officers reluctant to adopt DMA and pressure management, which is a major barrier to progress. 4. Right Expertise in NRW I concluded by emphasizing the need for the right experts in NRW—those who prioritize DMA and pressure management. It’s easy to identify them: if someone talks more about pipe replacement and less or disagreed with DMA and pressure management, they do not belong in this field!
