KUALA LUMPUR: New policies and approaches are needed to address weaknesses in river basin management and issues related to the sustainability of rivers, said Perak Ruler Sultan Nazrin Muizzuddin Shah.

Apart from learning from other countries which had succeeded in preserving their rivers, Sultan Nazrin said that a fresh, organised and more viable framework is needed as many people are still not aware of the need to preserve rivers despite various previous policies and programmes.
