Singapore: from water insecurity to self-sufficiency

摘要

Singapore has gone from critical dependence on its neighbour Malaysia for its freshwater to become an international centre for water technology and expertise. The total land area that Singapore utilises for water catchment has increased from 11% in 1970 to over 60% in 2011. It is projected that by 2060, 90% of Singapore's total land area would be water catchment.
