The Water Sources of Singapore

The Water Sources of Singapore

• PUB is Singapore's national water agency responsible for collecting, purifying, and supplying water to the nation.
• Singapore's water sources include local catchment areas, imported water from Malaysia, NEWater (recycled water), and desalinated water.
• These diverse sources ensure Singapore's water sustainability and independence.

NEWater

• NEWater is produced by recycling used water

• It is ultra clean and safe for drinking

• It is used mainly for industrial purposes

• It helps diversify Singapore's water sources and reduce reliance on imported water.

Desalination: Turning Seawater into Drinking Water

• Desalination is the process of removing salt and other impurities from seawater to produce fresh drinking water.

• Desalination is costly as it requires a huge amount of energy to make seawater drinkable
