Kindly recheck the answers in the Pre-test & Post-test 1 on water cycle processes. I think there is an error; besides that, this was a good beginner course on IWRM.

Clear and simple. Most are learned through basic education but this serves as a good refresher or a good review material.

the course clearly explains IWRM from global principles down to Malaysia’s case studies, mixing theory with practical examples like River Rangers, Water Watch Penang, and the Kelana Jaya Lake rehabilitation. It’s structured, relevant, and easy to revise for exam-style questions.
