Land Reclamation in MelakaLand reclamation is the gain of land from the sea, water bodies or wet lands

Substantial land reclamation damages habitats and contributing to land erosion and flash flood.

Beautification and improvement of Sungai Melaka using effective microorganisms and membrane technology

ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS IN MALAYSIAMalaysia is a developing country and its population is expanding to 27 million by year 2020. Growing number of population means more energy consumption, more waste is produced, lack of resources and land mass, and decreasing of living quality..

Pollutions air, water and land

Haze Solid waste managementChemicals dumping

Unconventional waste management system caused water disruption at klang valley

Solid waste management - landfill

Modern landfill is now equipped with methane gas recovery waste to energy plant, leachate treatment system and well to monitor the quality of ground water.

The problems: emission of methane, leachate into ground water and accumulation of dioxin.

Appropriate technology to improve environmentis an ideological movement (and its manifestations) originally articulated as intermediatetechnologyby the economist Dr. Ernst Friedrich "Fritz" Schumacher in his influential work, Small is Beautiful.
