In just four decades, Singapore has overcome water shortages despite its lack of natural water resources and pollution in its rivers. Driven by a vision of what it takes to be sustainable in water, Singapore has been investing in research and technology. Today, the nation has built a robust, diversified and sustainable water supply from four different sources known as the Four National Taps water from local catchment areas, imported water, reclaimed water known as NEWater and desalinated water. By integrating the system and maximising the efficiency of each of the four taps, Singapore has ensured a stable, sustainable water supply that is weather resilient, capable of catering to the country?s continued growth. One of these Taps is the high-grade reclaimed water known as NEWater, a success story made possible by state-of-the-art membrane technologies. Such new technologies are a potential goldmine. The Singapore government has identified water as a new growth sector and will invest about S330 million in water R&D in the next five years. Besides its strategic role, water is beautifying Singapore?s landscape and improving Singaporeans? quality of life. By involving people as stakeholders of the country?s water resources, we are moving closer to realising the vision of Singapore as a City of Gardens and Water.
