Personal Reflection (NEwater visit)

The three takeaways that i learned were that due to our small land size, we cannot depend on water catchment alone. That is why NEWater was created to provide the water that Singapore needs. I also learned that there are 4 main ways that we obtain water. We get water from water catchment areas, import water from foreign countries, NEWater and desalination. Finally, i learned that we should conserve water to prevent it from running out in Singapore. The concepts that i learned today were where we got our water from and why saving water is important. One interesting thing i learned today was that Goh Chok Tong was playing Tennis when he first tasted new water and actually liked it a lot. So much so that he ask for another bottle after he finished the first bottle. I can help with water conservation in Singapore by using what i need only and switching off taps when not in use. I will also not litter or spit in to drains as they may go to water catchment areas and pollute the water.
