Developments also derived the climate changes problems and causing natural
disaster. This can be proven when deforestation take place, the excessive heat
from the Sun due to lack of absorbent causing evaporation of water to increase
and heavy rain occurrence. Landslides usually occurs subsequently due to the
bare soil which do not have any support to make them intact with ground. On the
other issues, some people take an easy way to get rid of the waste by disposing
them in lake, river and ocean. This poor attitude is a threat to the biotic
environment because not all the waste are biodegradable due to the uses of
extensive synthetic materials. People also failed to think of how to reduce the
production of wastes.
Hence, academic researchers globally are now striving to do extensive
researches about the sustainability of water resource that are safe for the human
consumption and how to reduce the waste production without harming the
environment. They are many ways suggested and one of them are by
incorporating multidisciplinary study such as combining the knowledge of civil
engineering with chemistry, and other science field. Other than that, researches

analysis, it is suggested that the water tariff should be increase to the very high
fees so that consumer will lower the water usage. Although there are abundant
water resource in Malaysia, people must know that the water resource is finite
and must be preserved.

in America, the fees of the wastewater service is based on their clean water
consumption? Likewise in Malaysia, the wastewater service governed by Indah
Water Sdn Bhd only charges to their customer at fixed amount and only to be
paid every 3 months. People also must be taught that wastewater is more
complex and expensive to treat compared to clean water treatment.
On the other hand, researches also must know the type of pollutants that
going into the water such as recalcitrant organics, heavy metals, and
xenobiotics. These pollutants are very crucial parameters to be examined
