UMS River Cleaning Machine
Environment & Biodiversity
River pollution has been a topic of discussion since long ago and rivers in Sabah faced the same issue and worsening. It has then prompted Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) to come up with a new innovation, called the UMS River Cleaning Machine. The project started in 2018 and as of 2022, the prototype has been done and is currently being used in Faculty of Engineering for research purposes.
