Summary draft 1

According to the Public Utilities Board (2020), it states that water consumption in Singapore is about 430 million gallons (mgd) per day as of today which is equivalent to 782 Olympic-sized swimming pools, with non-domestic buildings consuming at a higher percentage than homes. It is expected to double by 2060 because of the rising demand for water in non-domestic categories. Therefore, in order to meet the demand of the country’s water needs, a well-structured plan and well designed water infrastructure is essential to ensure sufficient water is available for future generations. PUB addresses the importance of conserving water which requires the commitment and participation of the community and their approach is to diversify water supply, encouraging the community to take part so that they can better appreciate and treasure this precious resource. Lastly, giving recognition for their remarkable support towards the water cause.
