NEWater is obtained from reclaiming used water. Treated used water is further purified, making it suitable for human consumption. It is supplied to both industrial and commercial buildings, but a small percent is blended with raw reservoir water. There are 4 NEWater factories- Bedok, Kranji, Seletar and Ulu Pandan. Since it is ultra-clean, it is ideal for wafer fabrication plants which require high-quality water.
The country enjoys 2,340 millimeters of rainfall a year -- much of which is caught and funneled into the water supply through a network of drains, canals and reservoirs dotted around the city.
Singapore is bereft of sufficient domestic water reserves and is highly reliant on Malaysia for at least half of its water supply
Although Singapore separated from Malaysia in August 1965 under acrimonious circumstances, the water links continued.
