Nahrim on the lookout for strategic partners

TA Research pointed out that rainwater harvesting has been widely accepted as an alternative water resource, but the utilisation was still limited in Malaysia as a result of long return on investment and poor public acceptance.

PETALING JAYA: The National Water Research Institute of Malaysia (Nahrim) is seeking strategic partners to work out a business plan to commercialise and mass produce its bottled water sourced from rainwater harvesting.

The government institute, involved in hydraulics and water environment research and consulting, had successfully carried out research on harvesting rainwater for drinking purposes and came out with bottled “skyjuice” branded CloudRain and Raindrop, according to TA Research.
