![]() This 3-year project focuses on Sungai Way, a tributary of Sungai Pencala, which eventually flows into Sungai Klang. The W.A.T.E.R project by SPARK Foundation, in partnership with Global Environment Centre (GEC) commenced in December 2007. W.A.T.E.R is a pioneer initiative to educate the public about the importance of water and why and how we should conserve and protect its source: our rivers. There is a serious lack of civic consciousness and this has resulted in severely polluted water-bodies. ![]() For example, squatter areas continue to use rivers as an open wastewater sewer and residential, commercial and industrial owners use drains and rivers as solid and liquid waste disposal sites. Rapid development, growth and industrialization in the PJ area has resulted in major water pollution issues. In Petaling Jaya, people are facing the impact of water-related problems due to improper management and inefficient use. Malaysia receives over 2000mm of rainfall annually, which is 20 times more than some other countries, and has 1800 rivers, and yet we find ourselves facing water shortages, irregular water supply and drinking water pollution. We cannot create more water, yet we continue to pollute the limited amount we do have.
