Integrated lake basin management and its importance for Lake Chini and other lakes in Malaysia. Technical Report. Blackwell Publishing Asia Pty Ltd, Seri Kembangan, Selangor. (2009)
Abstract
Although fresh water represents the smallest percentage
of the total water available on our planet, it is critical to the fulfilment of human needs for living. In addition to
providing a water supply for meeting drinking needs, irrigating crops and agricultural areas and operating industrial processes, fresh water also sustains terrestrial and aquatic habitats needed for the growth of a myriad of indigenous plant and animal species. Increasing water demands and deterioration of existing water resources, however, as a result of water pollution and unsustainable water uses have led to water scarcity in many parts of the world (UNEP 2006; Jorgensen & Rast 2007), highlighting the need to manage water resources holistically within a lake basin in order to sustain life and the natural environment.
