WATER USAGE

Average direct water usage in Malaysia is 210 L / day / capita (SPAN, 2013). Malaysians' water usage exceeds United Nations' recommended water usage of 165 L / day / capita. The reasons can be numerous but we should start the water conservation  steps now.  Start by reducing direct water usage, then incorporate indirect water usage (or virtual water) to reduce water footprint. Water conservation starts with individual behavioural changes whereby proper awareness is very vital. Awareness with right skills followed by effective conservation initiative will add value for the targeted output.
