Level of water stress: freshwater withdrawal as a proportion of available freshwater resources
As a densely populated small island-city, Singapore has limited natural freshwater resources and limited land to capture and store rainwater. As such, Singapore will always be water stressed. However, through careful planning and innovation, we have been able to build a robust, diversified and sustainable supply of water with our Four National Taps, which includes NEWater (i.e., recycled used water) and desalinated water. We have also undertaken several initiatives to manage water demand and promote water conservation to ensure the sustainability of our water resources.
