  1. ASEAN WORKING GROUP ON WATER RESOURCES MANAGEMENT(AWGWRM) Feed back from ASEAN Working Group for “ASEAN Water Data Management & Reporting System” Updated Jun 2011

  2. Contents

  3. Part 1: Introduction • ASEAN Strategic Plan of Action on Water Resources Management includes action on building a long-term water quality database for planning and strategic management of rivers • Project Concept 4: ASEAN Water Data Management & Reporting System

  4. Project Objective • Designing a limited, agreed, and affordable water quality data collection programme that requires national water management agencies to measure, assess and report on a regular basis • Making full use of existing monitoring programmes (to maximize cost effectiveness) • Maximizing national consistency in monitoring related to water quality and river management • Building the initial programme in a way that is capable of future expansion

  5. Part 2: Overview of ASEAN Monitoring Capabilities • Ten ASEAN Countries (Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao PDR, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam) • Various government agencies collecting data, monitoring and reporting

  6. Part 2: Overview of ASEAN Monitoring Capabilities (cont.) • To suit needs for control of water quality issues • Various water quality parameters being monitored • No long-term consistent database • Base line set of data yet to be established

  7. ASEAN Members Source: • Brunei, Environmental Health Country Profile, World Health Organization (WHO), November 2004i • JPS Malaysia, National Register of River Basin, KTA Tenaga Sdn Bhd (2003) • Water Quality Monitoring Manual, MIHP (2007) : DID-107; DOE-1,106 ; MOH-658 ; DMG-302 Nos. • State of Water Resources Management in ASEAN Report, October 2005 • Thailand: Thailand Environment Monitor 2001(DOE) • Vietnam: Vietnam Environment Monitor 2003 (DOE)

  8. Part 3: Existing ASEAN Water Quality Standards & River Classification (cont.) • No coherent set of water quality standards being adopted among ASEAN • Malaysia is working on an Interim National Water Quality Standard based on a formula of 6 parameters (DO, BOD, COD, Amm-N, SS, pH) to classify water quality index (WQI) into 5 classes

  9. Water Quality Standards

  10. Part 4: Selection Criteria for Parameters and Rivers • Choice of Water Quality Parameters to be measured :- • Importance of parameters to users • Availability of existing data in ASEAN countries • Complexity of data collection process • Costing of data collection • Future development of database

  11. Part 5: Proposed Model Water Quality Data Collection Programme • Proposed set of nine (9) basic parameters to be monitored • (1) pH • (2) Biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), mg/l • (3) Chemical oxygen demand (COD), mg/l • (4) Ammoniacal Nitrogen, mg/l • (5) Total suspended solids (TSS), mg/l • (6) Dissolved oxygen (DO), mg/l • (7) Faecal coliform, counts/100ml • (8) Turbidity, NTU • (9) Temperature (°C)

  12. Decision of Last Meeting The Meeting agreed that before this proposal can be finalised for implementation, member countries need to provide their feedback and agreement on the following: • Type of parameters to measure the water quality and quantity to be included in the proposal – the draft proposal addresses 9 parameters. • Frequency of monitoring and measuring – the draft proposal calls for twice a month (fortnightly) measurements and reporting. • The appointment of lead agency in each member country which will be responsible for this project and to provide the data required. • Member countries’ commitment and agreement to implement the system, in particular to share the country data on a regular basis. • Member countries’ requirement for international funding for implementation.

  13. Parameters agreed to be measured by ASEAN Members

  14. Malaysian River Selection

  15. Singapore River Selection

  16. Myanmar River & Stations Selection

  17. Myanmar River & Stations Selection (Cont.)

  18. Data Sharing and Protocol • Malaysia will enable data to be shared electronically by modern information technology among ASEAN countries • Singapore, Vietnam, Brunei, Thailand, Indonesia and Lao PDR data are restricted access with certain parameters classified and its open to all member countries. • Cambodia and Philippineshave no respond.

  19. Funding assistance • Malaysia, Myanmar, Vietnam and Brunei need the funding assistance. • Singapore, Thailand and Indonesia fund the project using their own country resources. • Lao PDR have no respond on item 3. • Cambodia and Philippines have no respond on the questionnaire
