\"\"\u00a0Water Leaders Forum 2017 (WLF 17) is a continuation of the Johor Water Sustainability Symposium 2017 which took place on August 7 and 8 2017, where local experts and agencies have been involved to formulate solutions to water issues in the State of Johor. In addition to creating an inspirational sharing and knowledge amongst the agencies involved, the symposium has succeeded in formulating a sustainable water management resolution that will serve as the basis for planning and managing resources and water industries. WLF 17 is organised by Johor Water Forum (JWF), an organization that is responsible to advise and assist the State Government in handling water issues. The first Forum organized by JWF held in 2015 has been a source of ideas for better resource management and water supply. The State of Johor has taken a positive step towards finding alternative sources of water and formulating strategies towards sustainable water resources management.<\/p>\n

Among the principal issues raised during JWF 15 are;<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Dramatic increase for clean water demand as a result rapid developments especially in the Iskandar Region. In addition to local requirements, the State of Johor is committed to further supplying raw water resources to Singapore and Malacca;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      \n
    1. Water supply becomes more critical every time the drought occurs. Over dependency on river water will expose the state to serious water supply disruptions especially during drought;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
        \n
      1. Pollution levels become more serious during dry seasons because the river’s ability to dilute the contaminants becomes limited;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
          \n
        1. River pollution has become a major threat that limits the inadequate water resources;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
            \n
          1. Efforts should be made to obtain more alternative sources such as groundwater, large scale rainwater harvesting, desalination\u00a0 and construction of barrage;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
              \n
            1. In addition to supply enhancement, the demand management approach is equally important to ensuring sustainable management. This requires changing the behaviour of users through public awareness programs, formal education at schools, imposing penalties or charges, providing incentives, and formulating appropriate policies;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
                \n
              1. Integrated River Basin Management should be strengthened to ensure water resources security.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
                \n
