Singapore has little land to collect and store rainwater. We have faced drought, floods and water pollution in the early years when we established the nation. These challenges have inspired us to innovate and develop capabilities in this area, turning our weakness into strength.
Looking back through Singapore’s water journey over half a century, we have, through investment in research and technology, found an integrated, effective and cost-efficient way to solve our water challenges.
Our experience in effectively addressing our water challenges has earned us international recognition as a model city for water management and an emerging global hydrohub. - See more at: http://www.pub.gov.sg/water/Pages/singaporewaterstory.aspx#a1
