However, the Temiar indigenous villagers at Pos Kemar have faced years without clean water for drinking and other purposes.
“This village’s remote location makes it hidden from sight. It is only accessible with a four-wheel drive via logging roads from Sungai Siput or by boat from the Banding Jetty. She said although water filtration equipment with ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis systems is available, it provides a limited quantity of clean water, making it heavily dependent on rainfall, especially during dry seasons.
“Rainwater harvesting promotes sustainable water management practices by utilising natural resources such as rainwater instead of relying only on finite water sources. Students learn about the benefits of reducing their reliance on treated water from municipal supplies.” GGAF green education programme chief Sri Themudu Bully Baboo said installing rainwater harvesting systems at the community level is one of the most cost-effective ways to ensure a continuous and sustainable water supply, especially in indigenous areas like Pos Kemar.
Supporting the initiative, RPS Pos Kemar primary school co-curricular senior assistant Zulkifly Yeop shared his heartfelt appreciation for the rainwater harvesting system.
