WATER MANAGEMENT

Water is considered our “blue gold”. This vital resource is becoming increasingly scarce so it’s more necessary than ever to be conscious of how we use it.

Though Singapore is surrounded by water, drinking water is scarce. Malaysia supplies the major proportion of water through huge pipelines. But this dependence has always been a thorn in Singapore’s “political” side. In 2005 a huge project was started: The Singapore River was dammed right in the center of the city.
