Besides nationally finding alternative water supplies in Singapore, Singaporeans can help by SAVING WATER. We can put up campaigns to make people realize that they should not only depend on the government to provide them with water but they should also chip in and give ideas on how to replenish the water supply in Singapore. Here are some of the points that we can bring up during the campaign on how to Save Water:

  1. Take short showers instead of long baths.
  2. Use a cup when brushing your teeth.
  3. Do not run the tap when washing the dishes.
  4. Install a dual-flush toilet.
  5. Only use the washing machine with a full load.
  6. Never leave a tap dripping.
  7. Consider installing a water meter.
  8. Check faucets and pipes for leaks.
  9. Keep a bottle of drinking water in the fridge.
  10. Don't use the toilet as an ashtray or wastebasket.


However, saving water does not ensure that the water can be replenished in Singapore. Hence, the government came up with projects like NEWater, the Marina Barrage, catchment areas, desalinated water and water treaties. However, these projects will not be able to last long and we have to come up with new alternative water supplies. Creating a new water supply is not easy and I feel that Singapore can have alternative water supplies by only increasing catchment areas like building man-made reservoirs on reclaimed land. But making reclaimed land will take extra time and can upset the neighbouring countries. So, should we increase catchment areas in Singapore for the sake of alternative water supply?
