In order to meet Singapore’s future water demand, PUB’s approach can be distilled into three key strategies “Collect Every Drop Of Water”, “Reuse Water Endlessly” and “Desalinate Seawater”. Currently, there are three desalination plants in Singapore with the combined capacity of 130 mgd that will meet 30% of Singapore’s water demand.
