Professor Chan Ngai Weng examines the role of women as key players in achieving sustainable management of water resources in Malaysia. According to Professor Weng, despite the mismanagement of water in Malaysia causing severe impacts on women, it is women who play a significant role in mobilizing Water Demand Management (WDM) tools for domestic water conservation. Women’s roles as managers of family water budgets, decision makers on installation of water conserving devices at home and educators on the importance of water conservation play a vital role in curbing domestic water waste and ensuring wise and sustainable use of water.
