The Need for Water Management
In Collaboration with
Water is a finite resource. Increase in population means less water available per capita.
As such, there are pressing needs for water security and sustainable management of
water resources not only locally, but also at international level, aiming for global
cooperation for Sustainable Developme nt.. Successful water management can be
achieved if water resources management is handled not only by the government alone,
but also with the involvement of private sector, NGOs and most important ly, the
participation of local community. Local support is th e essence of any urban conservation
programme. Education will play a vital role in developing people's awareness of the
relevance and potential benefits of urban conservation. Encouraging involvement
through education can be done by means of media campaign,
campaign information sharing on
environmental issues, meetings and workshops.
The Need for Media Involvement
Newspapers, magazines, radio,
radio TV and the internet can be useful allies in carrying out
urban conservation project
projects. Their role to publicise environmental issues,
issue or to highlight
a project needing public involvement ought to be augmented.
augmented Most newspapers, radio
and TV stations have key environmental journalists to cover such news. Therefore, they
should be in the know of such issue as well as p roject in the pipeline, so that necessary
media coverage can be done.
