Introduction

The progress of mankind would come to an abrupt halt without the skills and knowledge of engineering professionals. In Malaysia, we see the rapid transformation of society from an agricultural base to a manufacturing base with the attendant problems of inadequate water supply, raw-water pollution and increasing pollution loads in the rivers. Here, the Malaysian water and wastewater engineers have taken up the challenge over the years to upgrade the skills, innovate and develop solutions to emerging problems be it source inadequacy or pollution, and also bearing in mind the desire to show profitability in the management of the systems.
