In 1998, the government initiated a study, the Singapore Water Reclamation Study (NEWater Study), to determine if reclaimed water treated to potable standards was a viable source of water. In order to facilitate the new integrated approach, the Public Utilities Board , which had previously been in charge of water supply only, was given the ...
Today, with the addition of four other desalination plants, namely the Tuas South Desalination Plant, Marina East Desalination Plant, Tuas Desalination Plant, and Jurong Island Desalination Plant, desalinated water can meet up to 25% of Singapore's current water demand.
Desalinated water is planned to meet 30% of Singapore's future water needs by 2060. [98] Existing (25% of Singapore's 2017 water demand) SingSpring, Tuas (2005) – 30 million imperial gallons (mgd) / 136,380 m 3 /day @ 3.5kWh/m3; Sungei Tampines (2007) – 4,000 m 3 /day, small scale variable salinity desalination.
Water technology developed and used in Singapore, such as portable water filters, water testing technology and flood management tools, have been exported to over 30 countries, including Indonesia ...
Right now, 16,876 desalination plants in 177 countries produce enough desalinated water to support up to 972 million people per day, which equates to only 1% of the world’s clean water supply ...
In 2008, Siemens Water Technologies announced technology that applied electric fields to desalinate one cubic meter of water while using only a purported 1.5 kWh of energy. If accurate, this process would consume one-half the energy of other processes. [159] As of 2012 a demonstration plant was operating in Singapore. [160]
The Marina Reservoir is a reservoir in Singapore formed in 2008 by building a dam across the mouth of the Marina Channel. [2] With the completion of the Marina Barrage on 30 October 2008, the reservoir, which contained mainly salt water, became freshwater and started operations at 7 pm on 20 November 2010 [3] after a process of natural desalination, when excess water was released out to the ...
Jessie McDonald, a water and gas operator mechanic at Southern California Edison, checks the numbers inside the desalination plant in Avalon. The facility today provides about 40% of the town's ...
