Relevant SDGs CURRICULUM AREAS: Exploration of Elements in Nature

Subject: Science
Form 2 Science
SDG 6: Ensure Justification:
availability and SDG 6 was selected since the water supply situation for Malaysia has changed from one relative abundance to one of scarcity. River water contamination is a major
sustainable issue in Malaysia due to urbanization and modernization and has a damaging impact on the quality of water supply (Afroz & Rahman, 2017). Owing to high
management of water population concentrations, industrial operations and industry around towns and cities, rising water use, increasing water contamination, increasing disputes over land
and sanitation for all use and climate change, water management is becoming increasingly comprehensive and complicated. Any new development of water sources to meet the ever-
increasing demand of environmentalists and conservationists faces severe inspection at about the same time.
