This volume focuses on awareness-raising, advocacy, and capacity building related to water resources management, which is centered on four clusters, i.e. government, business, community, and academia. The main study outputs comprise four separate modules that address each of the four clusters. Volume II also includes recommendations of AACB programs for nationwide implementation of all levels of water-related organisations and communities at federal, state, and local levels. The AACB roadmap is also given in this volume.

This volume highlights the need for Malaysia to establish a single-point reference centre that will provide reliable and quality water data and information, including primary and secondary water-related data. The IWSDC is envisioned to be a vital element in facilitating water research consortia, which is the key to a successful development of a datadriven water sector. The IWSDC roadmap is also given in this volume.

This volume promotes the integration and adoption of IR4.0-based advanced technologies in water resources management towards an evidence-based, efficient and sustainable water sector. A high-tech equipped water sector is a prerequisite and will provide support and accelerate its position as a dynamic growth engine to ultimately become the regional water industry hub. The IR4.0 roadmap is also given in this volume.

This volume centres on the interconnection and roles of water, food and energy in ensuring security and sustainability for the people’s and nation’s development. It addresses the intricacies and interlinkages of the nexus to allow better balance trade-offs and synergies. The WFE Nexus roadmap is given in this volume.

This volume emphasises the need to raise awareness about virtual water (VW) and water footprint (WF) amongst decision-makers and the public to ensure better planning, management, and consumption of water. It addresses elements, such as calculation of our national VW, establishment of WF inventory for selected economic sectors as well as the incorporation of WF elements in federal and state water governances. The VW&WF roadmap is given in this volume.

This volume addresses climate change impacts if the 1.5oC global warming is not arrested. It provides key strategies for strengthening climate change adaptation and leveraging on IWRM and water technologies. CCIA has developed strategic inputs and national strategies to enhance our adaptive capacity and build resilience for the water sector towards adapting to climate change. The CCIA road map is given in this volume.

This volume examines the existing funding mechanisms across the water sector and explores alternative financing mechanisms that are both sustainable and conducive to support the water industry in the long-term. The proposed mechanisms are a holistic system to ensure sustainability of the whole water sector value chain. The AWF roadmap is given in this volume.

This volume aims to enable transformation of the national water sector into a competitive economic sector that significantly contributes to the national GDP without jeopardising the sustainability and availability of resources and opportunities for the future generation. It will examine the economic value and viability of the water sector to become a contributor to the national GDP. The WES roadmap is given in this volume.
