Conclusion

Water Pollution
Around 8 million tons of plastic bottles, bags, toys and other plastic rubbish
ends up in the world’s oceans each year. That includes a significant quantity
4
from Malaysia
Solid Waste Pollution
Similar incidences are still rampant throughout the country. Some of the solid
waste finds its way into our rivers. 5
State of Our Rivers
6
Urbanised rivers are all polluted with solid and liquid waste
What We Want Our Rivers To Be

Riverine Condition
Example: Sg. Buloh, Selangor
Natural section 0 km
Ruralised section 17 km
Urbanised section 40 km

70% of Sg. Buloh is urbanised. (Source: LUAS study, 2020)
Outfall Risk – Sg. Buloh, Selangor

Highlights: Sullage issue Awareness on the destructive effect of sullage to our rivers MUST be propagated to the public & government. 11
Highlights: Sullage issue
Greywater/Sullage
Discharge
Sullage discharge into drain from extended kitchen.

& Sewerage
separate tasks: Stormwater Drainage & Wastewater Conveyance
Two separate tasks:
13Pollutant Loads, Sg Langat
> Based on Sg.Langat study for 2005 & 2006, sullage contributed the highest BOD, Ammonia,
TSS in a dry year.
> For a wet year, IST produced highest BOD & TSS; STP produced highest ammonia.

Source: IWK ReportPollution Loads of Municipal Wastewater
> Proportion of pollution parameters between Black water and Grey water (Sullage).
> BOD5 and COD in Grey water have a higher proportion as compared to Black water.

Observations for Better River Pollution Control
• Streamlining enforcement on sullage – LUAS/BKSA, SPAN, IWK, PBT, JAS.
• PBT to enforce illegal trade sullage discharge.
• SPAN to enforce illegal sanitary piping alteration – kitchen & washing
machine.
• Gross Pollutant Traps by JPS (RoL WPKL). What about the rest? SDBA
Section 54 requires Local Authorities to clean drains, etc.
• Needs transparent public reporting & action taken by regulators through
e-Aduan.
• Self-sustaining river surveillance system at hotspots by river operators.
• Consider river patrolling using e.g. small hovercraft.
• River monitoring through public empowerment.

Public Awareness Implementation
Methodology
✓ Choose location – urbanised and ruralised rivers
✓ Create committed core team
✓ Create Whatsapp public group
✓ Invite CSR for river rehabilitation program
✓ Continuous program, minimum weekly
✓ Visit established sites
✓ Utilise program RIVER ACE for activities
✓ Provide store (cabin)
✓ Provide tools
✓ Invite schools to have environment or PE lessons utilising river trails
49Conclusion
• Clearing rubbish in rivers and oceans and treating water pollution
are ONLY dealing with the symptoms. The real problem is with US,
our bad habits.
• River pollution control is everyone’s responsibility.
Read Japanese DNA.
• Public awareness on river rehabilitation needs to be propagated.
• Applying RIVER ACE through GReduAction is an effective
methodology.
• Public and government need to work together.
• Getting people to the rivers and utilising the space by having access
i.e. river trails and river parks are most important.
