Seminar On Water Resources & Environment

 

Theme
 Application of Nuclear Related Technologies
Date

3rd – 5th April 2006
Venue
Bukit Merah Laketown Resort, Perak

 

Background

The Department of Irrigation and Drainage Malaysia (DID Malaysia) and Malaysian Institute for Nuclear Technology Research (MINT) have been working together in research studies since 1999, exploring the usage of nuclear technology in the field of water resources.

The application of nuclear techniques in water resources and environmental related management issues is a relatively new concept. Over the last five decades, numbers of important results have been attained in several types of hydrological, engineering, and environmental problem using isotopic techniques. The isotopic techniques have been applied in the investigation of seepage losses from dams and canals, groundwater resources and recharge mechanism, groundwater flow dynamics, groundwater dating, soil erosion and reservoir sedimentation, sediment movement and transport pathway in estuarine and coastal areas, geothermal resources evaluation, stream flow measurements, pollution transport behaviour, etc. It offers unique techniques that may help in supplying information to assist end-users in decision making such as in the development and management of water resources projects, formulation of new policies, strategies and guidelines.

In the 21/2 days awareness seminar, International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) experts are invited to present lead papers. They would also assist local researchers in formulating directions for future research activities in the use of nuclear technique in water resources management and related environmental studies.
 

Technical Visit

A technical visit to River Engineering and Urban Drainage research Center (REDAC), Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) has been arranged. The center is well-known with its urbanstormwater management model. A demonstration to measure velocity and discharge using radioisotope technique will also be conducted at Bukit Merah dam’s spillway or Selinsing Canal.

 

Objectives

  • Disseminate JPS-MINT’s research outputs related to nuclear technology.

 

  • Provide platform for researchers, engineers, academicians, and professionals in sharing ideas and solving issues in the areas of water resources and environment.

 

  • Disseminate to policy makers, dam managers, researchers and relevant parties regarding the application of nuclear technology in water resources and environment.

 

  • Share ideas and exchange research findings which can contribute to the formulation of action plans and strategies on sustainable water resources and environment.

 

Who Should Attend

Scientist, managers, policy makers, planners, academia, professionals and student involved in water resources and environment.
