Singapore The Global Hydrohub

摘要

As the world moves to address climate change, fossil fuel depletion and rapid urbanisation, a need for more eco-friendly products and solutions will accelerate. Cities and nations alike now seek sustainable answers for water and environmental management needs - especially so in Asia, home to almost three billion people, many living in crowded urban spaces. Singapore has come a long way since its water rationing days in the 1960s. It successfully turned a vulnerability into a strength by investing in research and technology to develop water management and treatment capabilities. Work in the past 40 years has no doubt put us it in good stead to tap vast opportunities in Asia and beyond.
