“…Sabah State of Malaysia boasts of being richly endowed with natural resources, including water resources that house its diverse, complex, and unique aquatic ecosystem (Sirat et al, 2023;Sukereman et al, 2022;Imm et al, 2021;Aloysius et al, 2019;Weng et al, 2017). To protect these resources, Sabah State launched various legislative measures, including statutory laws like SWRE 1998 to promote sustainable practices and preserve its rich biodiversity (Sirat et al, 2023).…”

“…The federal and state governments of Malaysia recognize water as an essential aspect of their heritage and thus seek ways to ensure sustainable water resource management in the country. SWRE 1998 was thus launched to strengthen the management of water resources in each Malaysian state, including Sabah (Sukereman et al, 2022). Subsequently, each state in Malaysia has its own water supply agency tasked with managing state water resources and ensuring that water is safe for all consumers -domestic and aquatic flora and fauna (See et al, 2017).…”

“…SWRE 1998 is a type of Integrated Water Resource Management (IWRM) tool. Each state in Malaysia has its IWRM tool tasked with the implementation of sustainable water resources management (Sukereman et al, 2022). Despite the existence of these tools, there still existed various consequences due to not fully implementing legislative tools like SWRE 1998.…”

“…People do not know how to implement policy decisions, and this requires that they be trained and inducted on how to implement policy decisions later (Weng et al, 2017). Shortages of human capacity and capital for planning and implementation of SWRE 1998 impeded its ability to effect its mandate (Sukereman et al, 2022). Through relevant training activities, people are thus equipped with knowledge of what is expected of them and how to achieve these expectations.…”

Sabah Water Resources Enactment (SWRE) 1998 was launched in 1998, to ensure that Sabah's natural water resources are protected and managed in sustainable ways. Sabah accounts for approximately 22.37% of Malaysia's land mass area and has large portions of Malaysia's complex and unique ecological biodiversity. Some of the functions of SWRE 1998 include the provision of recommendations on how to improve and protect the quality and quantity of Sabah's water for domestic and aquatic flora and fauna and advising the Minister on the management and use of Sabah's water resources. Sabah faces water-related issues like nonrevenue water (NRW), water pollution, and water shortages. SWRE 1998 strategic effectiveness includes safeguarding against extensive water loss and damage to Sabah's natural water resources while its strategic weakness lies in the lack of stakeholder involvement and awareness. Strategic improvements needed concerning SWRE 1998 include regular review and revision to ensure it is implemented following consistent guidelines and increasing public awareness and education about this institutional framework.

“…This is because the ideas of sustainable development and resilience are becoming an increasingly important parts of modern discourse. Hence, to guarantee that the choices and actions taken by stakeholders are transparent, excellent governance is vital in putting the ideas of IWRM into practice [14]. To put it simply, IWRM strengthens the governance framework so the decision-making process can handle contemporary water concerns.…”

Strategic Implementation of Integrated Water Resource Management in Selected Areas of Palawan: SWOT-AHP Method

2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In the recent past, Integrated Water Resource Management (IWRM) has emerged as the method of choice for resolving a wide range of water-related conflicts that arise between governments and stakeholders all over the globe. Despite a variety of regulations and initiatives being put into place, there is still skepticism over their actual execution. In 2006, the Philippine government began updating the water policy and regulatory framework to promote IWRM as a foundation for sustainable development. However, implementation of this national and subnational structure is still in process. This study intends to identify and rank the key elements likely to affect IWRM changes at the subnational level in Palawan Province. Specifically, this study aims to identify the elements that might improve the result of adopting IWRM, which is as important as designing policies, institutions, and instruments for putting the approach into action. This approach combined the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) and Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) techniques, a hybrid multi-criteria decision procedure, SWOT-AHP. Expert group discussion revealed the essential elements impacting IWRM implementation in this research, and these elements were categorized into SWOT categories. The AHP approach was used to determine the relative relevance of each component identified in the SWOT analysis. The results show that the following ranking groups have a higher priority for Puerto Princesa: threats (group weight 48.8%), strengths (35.4%), weaknesses (10.7%), and opportunities (5.1%). The ranking group for Roxas is the following: opportunities (36.8%), strengths (27.4%), weaknesses (21.5%), and threats (14.3%). Taytay has the following ranking group: opportunities (27.9%), weaknesses (27.1%), threats (24.7%), and strengths (20.3%). While El Nido has the following ranking group: strengths (33.5%), weaknesses (24.3%), opportunities (24%), and threats (18.2%). This research identified and prioritized the key components essential to the effectiveness of the IWRM concept in the research sites. This study recommends evaluating IWRM implementation using the upgraded element framework, enhancing the strategic framework to assess state, federal, and local IWRM governance performance.
