Summary draft 2

In the article, “Singapore Water Story,” Public Utilities Board (PUB) (2020) has reported that Singapore’s water demand may double by 2060 due to the increase in population. To keep up with the demand, Singapore focuses on water management, such as collecting water from the local catchment and importing water from our neighboring country, Malaysia. As Singapore- Malaysia Water agreement is set to end in 2061, NEWater and desalination were introduced, expecting to meet 85% of Singapore’s future water demand by 2060. In hope to see a decrease in water consumption, programs are created to educate the community on water conservation. According to reports, PUB successfully saw a 15% reduction of household water consumption of a person per day. The demand for water is constantly on the rise with population and economic growth so Singapore will need  to  plan  and  implement  water  infrastructure  well  ahead  to  secure  an  adequate  and affordable supply of water for the future generation.
