Klang Valley Water Pollution

Based on the article which refer to Klang Valley water pollution. we believe that, the

management of development and urbanization is actually very important.

It is important in water management to ensure for health to human and environment. There are

two categories for water pollution sources as listed as below:

1. Point sources

2. Non-point sources

Point source is refer to sources that can define the starting point such as from sewage treatment

plant (STP), effluent from factory, from toilet and etc.

Non-point sources is refer to pollution which release to water without knowing the sharp point

such as surface water runoff, rainwater and etc.

Pollution of water is actually define that the incoming water is contain with excess chemical

constituent such as pesticides, ammonia, spilled carbon petroleum, detergent, fertilizers, organic

matter and etc. Rain which carry sulfur dioxide or nitrogen dioxide also may cause water

pollution.

Instead of chemical release, water pollution also may generated from discharge of heated water

especially industrial process or power stations.

The contamination may harmful to aquatic life and furthermore will destroy the aquifier. Many

of the chemical substances are toxic or even carcinogenic.

Many of the municipal water supplies in developed countries can present health risks. That is

why, proper management of water may save a lot of thing.

There is no other way for water manager at water treatment plant if the water sources has been

polluted except to shut down the plant. They have to ensure the action to be taken to makesure,

there is no unwanted incident will happen to community health.

Every organazation which related to water management must realise that, every discharge to

upstream river must be well treated. They have to follow standard quality effluent which is

earlier regulated by DOE.

Although, there is a regulation behind that, some of incident such as bund broke (refer to landill

leachate release from Semenyih landfill) were likely define as unexpected incident. As the

consequences, there must be a plan to response to this kind of pollution. Idea must be raised

such as to relocated the landfill to downstream area, and it must be planned earlier.

My Comment to Illegal Hunting

Illegal hunting is one of the worst issues in environmental field. I have read a news, published in

the site, which reporting unresolved(illegal hunting) cases around them.

A question appears why they do hunt in? They know that the meat always available in market,

even the bullet is more expensive compared to the meat itself! A good reason in itself:

1) Hunted meat is lean, healthy, and free from additives

2) It provides exercise and time in the outdoors, away from work pressures.

Yes, we understand that there are benefits of doing that, but do we accept the illegal hunting?

Some say, “Life feeds on Life, and Life gives Life to Life”. Yes them saying the truth. But illegal

hunting can cause uncontrolled demolishing of the natural ecosystem. Are the illegal hunters

always doing it for food or for monthly activities? For me, the answer is No! They do it for

money. It is just like stealing car and sells it cheap.

Because of the pro and contra, many countries are regulating about it. The hunter need a permit

before continue the activities. They have to declare their gun and bullet, how many they have, and

again to declare their yields, so that the authorities able to control the population of the animals

in the forest (perhaps).

Unfortunately, the seeding of the demolished animal, are seen very less because it is not

that many of body or NGO compared to the hunters itself, to do the rehabilitation work. The

correct authorities or government body need to brain wash, to encourage their citizen to take

part of the rehabilitation work by giving incentive, such as tax’s reduction or any special

treatment for doing good in order to balance the effect of illegal hunting.

My suggestion is that, every hunter must have their own centre for animal rehabilitation (feed

animal food with natural thing not sintetic to prevent additive, so that they will understand the

value are) and they have to replace back the hunt death with a reasonable number. If not,

stopped the hunting, don’t issued any permit and big fined for them.
