Singapore – a Water Country

Singapore is a “water country”, surrounded by water along with its advantages and disadvantages. The water sector in Singapore can seen in three categories: drinking water, delta and maritime.

Every year around June, the country celebrates Singapore International Water Week (SIWW), a  global platform for the sharing and co-creation of innovative water solutions with flagship programs:

• Lee Kuan Yew Water Prize
• Water Leaders Summit
• Water Convention
• Water Expo
• Business Forums

Singapore’s Ministry of Environment & Water Resources (MEWR) aims to move from maintaining good environmental performance in the short term to attaining environmental sustainability in the long run. Together with its two statutory boards, the National Environment Agency (NEA) and Public Utilities Board (PUB), the national water agency, MEWR continues to manage Singapore’s limited resources and address Singapore’s environmental sustainability challenges through innovation, vibrant partnerships and co-operation across the 3P sectors – private, public and people.
