According to national water agency PUB, Singapore’s daily water consumption is about 440 million gallons. That is enough to fill up 800 Olympic-sized swimming pools. As the city-state’s population and economy continue to grow in the long term, total water demand is expected to double by 2065, with the non-domestic sector accounting for 60% of that demand.
Water is one of the most essential substances on earth, supporting life in all its forms. Covering the majority of the planet’s surface, it plays a central role in shaping the environment, regulating climate and sustaining ecosystems.
An article published by the World Economic Forum predicts that global demand for freshwater will exceed supply by 40% by 2030. This will put pressure on existing global water resources and infrastructure in the long run.
