Australia Malaysia can follow these steps to tackle water issues
Why Australia: Easy. because Australia has vast deserts.
Because Australia is a dry country so people are educated with the use of water-saving measures.
The Australian government also requires all houses to build rainwater catchment system.
While in Germany, they take it a step further by imposing taxes rain! With simple language they will reduce taxes if every household uses more water.
However, the price for the installation of each device is not cheap because the cost of RM1,500 to RM10,000.
National Disaster Management Agency (DMA) today enable immediate working group to address the hot and dry conditions create the potential impact of wildfires, decreased water level of the dam and also the haze.
So as Malaysians are concerned, start saving and do together to help prevent things can impact the El-Nino phenomenon to continue adversities.-SEARCH Infonet.
