While the negotiations were ongoing however, Singapore was already prepared for greater water self-sufficiency through an integrated water management approach including water reuse and desalination of seawater. In 1998, the government initiated a study, the Singapore Water Reclamation Study (NEWater Study), to determine if reclaimed water ...
The feasibility of a fifth desalination plant in the Tembusu Multi-Utilities Complex on Jurong Island was first explored by the Public Utilities Board in 2016, prior to the completion of the Tuas desalination plant and the Keppel Marina East desalination plant. [1] [2] Jurong Island was chosen as the location for the next desalination plant as ...
The aim was to determine if NEWater was a viable source of raw water for Singapore's needs. NEWater and desalination both were explored to reduce reliance on water imported from Malaysia, which has long been a source of friction between the Malaysian and Singapore governments. [4] The Malaysian government is treaty-bound to sell water to ...
A team of government employees intently monitors the water, which will be collected and purified for use by the country's six million residents. “We make use of real-time data to manage the ...
The Group is responsible for building Singapore’s first water recycling plant and two seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) desalination plants, along with some of the largest SWRO desalination plants ...
Desalination is a process that removes mineral components from saline water. More generally, desalination is the removal of salts and minerals from a substance. [1] One example is soil desalination. This is important for agriculture. It is possible to desalinate saltwater, especially sea water, to produce water for human consumption or irrigation.
Desalinated water is planned to meet 30% of Singapore's future water needs by 2060.
