MEDAN, Dec 16 (Bernama) -- Malaysian national sewerage company, Indah Water Konsortium Sdn Bhd (IWK), ECO Asia and PDAM Tirtanadi, Medan City water and sewerage utility firm, signed an MoU to expand sewerage services in Medan City.
In an industrialised
city with plenty of
water, flushing the
toilet in an average
household can send
up to 50 litres of
water down the drain
everyday. Yet more
than one in six
people world-wide -
1.1 billion - don't
have access to 20-50
litres of safe
freshwater daily,
the minimum range
suggested by the UN
to ensure each
person's basic needs
for drinking,
cooking and
cleaning.
