Sustainable management of water
Examples
Singapore
Reducing water consumption
Grades water appliances with a tick rating
People are more aware of water-efficient products in the market
Aim: to lower Singapore's per capita average household water consumption to 130L by 2030
Water Efficiecy Labelling Scheme (WELS)
Improving water quality
Industries are not allowed to release wastewater into water bodies without permission
Environmental Protection and Management Regulations
Improving water technologies
Importing water
Countries with relatively abundant water sources may allow their neighbours to import wate from them
In SIngapore: we import water from Malaysia via 2 water agreements; which expire in 2061
By 2061, Singapore aims to rely on other management strategies to ensure it can produce enough water on its own to meet its people's
Other countries (China, South Africa)
Improving water quality (China)
Water Pollution Prevention

Requires cities with only one water source to set up emergency and back-up water resources
Reducing water consumption (South Africa)
Campaign aimed at raising awareness of the need to conserve water among tourists an businessess

Strategies (list)
Improving water technologies
[Detail] Making (e.g.) desalination more less energy-intensive
[Effectiveness]
[Limitations] Potentially low results (?)
Importing water
[Effectiveness]
[Limitations] Water source may dry up due to unexpected/uncalled droughts
[Detail] Importing water from non-SIngaporean resevoirs or lakes
Reducing water consumption
[Detail] Using products that use minimal water and reusing water whenever applicable and practical
[Limitation] None(? i'm not sure)
[Effectiveness]
Improving water quality
[Limitations] Lack of resources to desalinate water (inability to accommodate desalination resources or too much water) and companies trying to get away with breaking the law (simplified)
[Effectiveness]
[Detail] Filtering water (e.g. desalination) and controlling wastewater release (laws)
