SINGAPORE has been recycling wastewater since 2003. Treated sewage effluent, instead of being discharged, is further purified with tertiary treatment processes, making it ultra-clean and safe to drink.
Called NEWater, the reclaimed water meets up to 30% of the island republic’s water needs and by 2060, 55%. The reclaimed water is primarily for non-potable industrial and commercial uses and is delivered via a separate distribution network.
