Driving home the water conservation message


JOHOR BARU: Did you know that a slow, steady drip from your tap leads to 283 litres of clean water, enough to fill 188 large mineral water bottles, flowing down the drain every week?



About 10,000 pamphlets containing such information and useful tips on ways to conserve water will be distributed to households with high rates of water consumption here.

The pamphlets are part of the bid by the Water Resource Committee of the Rotary Club of Johor Baru to educate consumers on the importance of water conservation.


Committee chairman Jitender D. Sehgal, a consultant chemical engineer who has written a guidebook on harvesting rainwater, said under an agreement with Syarikat Air Johor, domestic consumers who used inordinate amounts of water would get the pamphlets together with their monthly bills.

The pamphlets produced by the club were handed over to SAJ customer services head Jamilah Omar at a meeting on May 29.
"The committee plans to produce a total of four sets of such pamphlets in all languages to inform the public of simple and practical water-saving techniques.

"Our efforts are in line with a call by Rotary International for Rotarians worldwide to do their bit to improve the availability of clean water," said Jitender.

The pamphlets illustrate how important it is to repair taps and leaks.

Jitender said the committee also planned to print and distribute posters and postcards on the water conservation theme.

"We will also carry out workshops for school interact clubs.

"All these activities will be co-ordinated with the Federation of Malaysian Consumers Associations and SAJ."

Jitender said the committee would identify rural and remote communities that received little or no clean water.

He said a bimonthly newsletter on water-related world issues would also be produced to create more public awareness on the importance of water conservation.
