Environmental aspect and Impact in Singapore water reclamation plant
Introduction
Driven by the scare and limited supply of water resource in Singapore, PUB(Public utility boards) have initiated the usage of water resources to be recycled and reuse for sustainability in Singapore. Singapore has taken a step further by investing in research and advanced water treatment technologies. Most of the domestic and industrial effluent was the channel to the water reclamation plant for treatment, which converts to the drinkable and industrial water supply such as NEWater and G3 effluent.
A short introduction to environmental concerns related to this industry.
