This paper shall discuss public private partnership as one of effective project implementation method and geospatial technology as a promising and evolving technology to meet and overcome the global water challenges.ISSUES & CHALLENGES TO WATER “a SUPPLY » Finite water resources and unequal distribution (If all the earth's water fit in a gallon jug, available fresh water would equal just overa eilepecn » Climate Change resulting prolong drought, extreme flood, change in river yield » Global population is expected to reach 8 to 9 billion by 2050, future water stress more due to increasing population and rapid development » Rapid urbanisation and unplanned urbanisation contribute to water resource pollution > Poor governance of the river basin and its eco-systems > Inadequate financing| WATER SUPPLY DEMAND MALAYSIA 2010-2050 40000 eich i 25000 a = 20000 18000 L-r.45;69 10000 ASOT 2010 2020 2030 2040 2050 Year —@ Demand | Expected capital works programe for the next 4 decades, source works at RM 3.3 billion, assuming per capita demand will decrease to 180 litres in year 2050ee ee ran . What are the Risks ? e Water scarcity can become the major limiting factor to growth. International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) reported that 4.8 billion people - more than half the world’s population - and approximately half of global grain production will be at risk due to water stress by 2050. The study also found that 45% of total GDP ($63 trillion) will be at risk due to water stress by 2050, which is 1.5 times the size of today’s entire global economy° Basically water is a state matter - the ownership and control of rivers and canals and the water remains with the state. e Water Supply Act WSIA 2006 -Regulate Treated Water Services in West Malaysia & Labuan © State Governments responsible for the development, operation and maintenance of water supplies. e Federal Government provides soft loans to State Governments for public water supply infrastructure and grant for rural water supply development. © PAAB (MOF Inc.Company) provide finance and leasing for a specified period(by the end of 2012) © T/Plant Installed Capacity 17,901 Mid (design), 15,145 MLD (production) ° Present Demand 14996 Mid. ¢ Overall National Water Coverage 95%. * Population : 28.25 Million (2010) ¢ Future Population: 47 Million (2050) 461 operated treatment plants Length of water mains in service is 134,495 km with Number of connections is 6.83 million Go) WNSTRY OF EERFostering public-private partnership against global challenges e Lacking required fund & to reduce budget deficit, the government not able to fund the cost of construction, operation and maintenance of infrastructure works based on its tax collection. ° Thus, PPP becomes an option to meet such funding, and offers win-win solution for the public, private and members of the community.- BENEFITS OF PPP -s Efficient use of public assets/facilities e Optimal whole life cycle costing Privat te ill optimi: hole li, I t project leading to lawer CUE ORES ee e ti shari f responsibilities between aR are and | Krivate Sectors e Third party due diligence The | to the PPP ill I Re denger tothe of the project which could iy bene icial to the Government e w life cycle co ill allow lower service Tee which mh bulkatle the public. e Would optimize the utilization of scarce resources. e Generate new business ortunities to the private sector - positive Thipact on the CDP:Maximize revenue Provide universal access to sevice Ensure afordable basi service Promate far competition Attract investors Improve public welfare cs Cees Ensure fir treatment of present employees: Provide career opportunities Improve productivity, efficiency and morale Ensure fair pricing Improve qualty and reliability or Seg service Interest Increase accountability and responsiveness Ensure stable, transparent regulatory process Enable organizational restructuring and assest allocations that favor efficient operations Provide trained human resources Gonorata more investment opportunitiespatial tec © Continuously evolving geospatial technology introduce innovative /optimal solution to meet the government’s objective and at the same time bring down a project cost. Other core management systems such as customer service, financial, maintenance management, performance modeling, capital improvement planning, construction, and so forth, can be fully integrated and leverage the GIS in order to achieve maximum efficiency in water operations. GIS integration with other core systems could provide map- based secured user access to essential, timely, utility information to internal staff, other agencies, and public users. Using GIS analysis and geoprocessing capabilities shall enhance daily / monthly / annual staff operations, activities, workflows, and planning.Eg.GIS Related » ‘Total & Integrated Water Management’ approach, for maximum efficiency and optimal solutions » Water supply and demand management » Efficient emergency response plan during drought & flood © Major pipe network connectivity during crisis.

A defined strategy and road map to achieve improvement through PPP is required in order to provide clarity and certainty about the operating environment to private sector operators, which is crucial for sizable investments and long payback periods inherent in infrastructure projects. Most appropriate approach to communicate and foster PPP is through an interactive dialogue with all stakeholders.
