: The government’s efforts to seek flood mitigation expertise from the Netherlands is the best move to reduce the billions of ringgit in costs spent annually to implement flood disaster management systems.
“Average annual rainfall in the Netherlands is 800 millimetre compared with Malaysia which gets 3,000 mm a year. Our rainfall patterns and causes of floods may differ from other countries,” he told Bernama. “In addition, the Netherlands also pioneered long-term flood risk management, based on the concept of Nature-based Solutions which emphasises the use of green flood risk management methods.
“Delft University of Technology is renowned in the field of engineering and the IHE Delft Institute of Water Education is a special institution under the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation , which focuses on water issues and solutions from land to sea,“ he said.
