Global effort in climate change solutions, What is an endangered species?,…

- - - - have a knock- on effect
        
        other countries might follow suit.
- - - - the costs of renewable energy are plummeting
- - - - animals and calamities
    - - man-made machines
        
        loudspeaker
        
        construction sites
        
        traffic
- - - - It's cheap and millions of liters are pumped over the border every day
      - From the start, Malaysia made threats to cut off the supply and argued over its price
      - Singapore's leaders know their weak spot, so they want to stop importing water by 2061
    - - You take that undrinkable salt water, you remove the salt
        and you have an unlimited supply of fresh water.
      - a real gamechanger
        
        the underground facility for example is [state-of-the-art]
        
        Normally, it treats used water.
        
        In times of drought, it desalinates sea water.
        
        On top, people use it as a park.
      - Salt water is pressed through a membrane
        
        the salt is trapped on the other side
    - - Two third of the entire state's surface
        is used for rainwater catchment.
      - Rain water is captured by the drainage system and conveyed to reservoirs where it can be stored.
        
        An extensive network of rivers, canals and drains
        channels the water into 17 reservoirs.
        
        It holds back fresh water from flowing into the ocean.
        
        the underground tanks
        that catches floodwater in extreme cases when the drains spill over.
    - - "All drainage water is collected and treated and reused as much as possible
        
        Most countries, they do not even invest a fraction of what Singapore is investing
        
        the entire city's underground is basically one big sewer network
        
        taking wastewater from slushing down toilets
      - Newwater produced by microfiltration
        
        Most of it is used by industry, only a fraction of it is mixed into the drinking water supply --> so squeamish(quấn quéo)
        
        It's a liability to get rid of wasting wastewater (gánh nặng)
      - this is a no-brainer decision.(obvious to the country situation)
