EDUCATION, TRAINING AND PUBLIC INFORMATION COMMITTEE (ETPIC)

Written by Super User on . Posted in Uncategorised

 

CHAIRMAN

Prof. Madya Dr Nabsiah Abdul Wahid

 

The Aims of the ETPIC

The general aims of IHP-Education, Training and Public Information Committee (ETPIC) activities implemented in the framework of the water education and training in respective objectives are:

 

  • A programme focuses on disseminating information on the role of Earth’s hydrological cycle and water resources with hand-on training through hydrology expedition and capacity building on general water education.
  • To prepare programme tools for the comprehension of the fundamentals of water interactions within the environment, other disciplines of natural science and society, as well as the incorporation of real-water resources and environmental knowledge.
  • To support capacity-building for integrated monitoring water quality variables necessary to achieve a proper understanding of water resources management.
  • To develop an output relevant to human capacity-building by strengthening its results with training and awareness raising activities, thereby enabling the transfer of such knowledge both to water specialists and the general public.

The ETPIC programme was developed through the SMART Programme (Start Managing All Resources Today), a programme which covers on how to manage our resources, both natural and man-mad. The programme began with a focus on Water Resources Management and environment.

Participating agencies are Malaysian Meteorological Department (MMD), Public Works Department (PWD), Mineral and Geoscience Department (MGD), Department of Environmental (DOE), University of Technology Malaysia (UTM), Universiti of Agriculture Malaysia (UPM), Department of Irrigation and Drainage Malaysia (DID) and National Hydraulic Research Institute Malaysia (NAHRIM).

The module of training covered related to Hydrology and Water Resources are as follow;

 

·         Hydrometeorological activities in Meteorology (MMD)

·         The Hydrological Cycle and Hydrological activities (DID)

·         Water Pollution (DOE)

·         Water Treatment and Supply (MGD)

·         Hydrology and Water Resources Engineering (UTM)

·         Water Quality (NAHRIM)

·         Water and the Environment (UPM)

This programme was initiated in 1985 and continued to be carried out subsequently with great success. Feedback from the schools had indicated warm support and proved beneficial to the students in the course of their studies and future career.

HYDROLOGY RESEARCH COMMITTEE (HRC)

Written by Super User on . Posted in Uncategorised

CHAIRMAN

Dr. Hj Mohamed Roseli Zainal Abidin

 

The Hydrology Research Committee (HRC) was established as a research and technology transfer was created to help bridge the large gap existing between scientific research in hydrology and applications for the solution of important societal problems that involve water. With each innovative idea, perspective, assembly of established ideas, or design, HRC seeks to establish the feasibility of our innovations. Many prototype systems and demonstration projects produced by HRC enhance, inspire, or form the basis of successful operational systems that preserve natural resources, further economic interests, and save lives. The hydrologic Research Committee is under the chairmanship of the Director of Humid Tropics Centre, Kuala Lumpur (HTC KL).

The research committee was established in early 1988 to cater for the country’s increasing needs in water resources and hydrological research activities following rapid socioeconomic development which has begun to exhibit negative impacts to the water resources environment.

The objectives laid out for this committee are:

 

·         To compile and disseminate information on past, current and future research projects

·         To determine research priority, type and approach

·         To disseminate research findings

A total of 14 governments, agencies and institutions of higher learning such as DID, PWD, DOE, DOA, MINT, UTM, UKM, UM, FRIM, ITM, USM, TNB and MARDI are involved in the various research projects conducted. With the demise of Major Regional Project (MRP) for Asia Pacific Region in 1989 and the emergence of Humid Tropics Programme (HTP) in 1990, the research subcommittee consequently assumes responsibilities for participation in HTP projects.

The national research activities funded under IRPA (Intensified Research in Priority Areas) and undertaken by this Sub-committee are:

 

  • Urban Hydrology at Damansara (Headed by DID)
  • Hydrology of Small Island at Langkawi Island phase 2 (Headed by DID)
  • Groundwater Contamination (headed by MINT)
  • Integrated Water Use Planning and Management Model (Headed by UKM)
