- Interstate water transfer is like no body's concern in a country like Malaysia, where water resources management in under State Governments. This is a serius matter for States that has shortage of water resources, and Federal Government should be able to provide solution whenever needed.
- In the case where two or more states sharing water from the same river, the role of Federal Government or National Water Council as coordinating body is obvious. One example in Malaysia is Kedah and Penang States that sharing Sungai Muda. Most of the water is generated from Kedah, and the downstream stretch of the river appears as the border between Kedah and Penang (Seberang Prai). Four Dams are storing the river water in Kedah (Pedu, Ahning, Muda, and Beris). What is the sharing formula for water utilization that can be accepted by both States?
4.1 Introduction The logical framework approach (LFA) was first adopted by U.S. AID in the early 1970s. The framework provides a set of designing tools that, when used creatively, can be used for planning, designing, implementing and evaluating projects (the entire project cycle). The purpose of LFA is to undertake participatory, objectives-oriented planning that spans the life of project or policy work to build stakeholder's team commitment and capacity, through a series of workshops. The technique requires stakeholders to come together in a series of workshops to set priorities and plan for implementation and monitoring. This achieved by structuring the main elements of project in a matrix (the logical framework) which summarizes the project, highlighting logical linkages between intended inputs, planned activities and expected results and records the underlying assumption. See Figure 4.1, for the content of framework matrix and how to read the LFA. 4.2 Steps in Logic
