What they say is true. There’s nothing like hearing something straight from the horse’s mouth. When it comes to water problems, I could probably say I’ve heard about it, read about it and seen it before (on the news). But I’ve never heard about it from a person in the midst of it all. The …
“What has water sports got to do with water management?” – That was the burning query we had when we hustled into the bustling SIWF (Singapore International Water Festival).

Singapore International Water Festival (SIWF) provided a platform for me to find out more about Singapore’s development and future plans on water.

During the Singapore International Water Festival there was an interesting exhibition, which caught my attention with facts …
The launch of the ABC water programme at Lower Seletar reservoir presented one of its newest addition to the water catchment area – a Raingarden . Don’t let the word ‘garden’ fool you. I didn’t expect it to hardly occupy the perimeters of the reservoir nor dull-looking plants. Before we start shrugging shoulders, stand in …
The Asia Pacific Youth Water Forum held on 26th June 2010 at Marina Barrage, by the PUB was truly an eye opener for me. Most of the programmes were talks on water conservation by learned people and foreign delegates. One particular talk that I enjoyed was the one by Mr Liak Teng Lit, CEO of …
Not only are these the words from a song by the popular singer/song writer Jack Johnson, but the convention halls are littered with recycling containers at SIWW. Whether it’s paper, plastic or glass, there is a container for you. Many businesses are incorporating aspects of their sustainable business models into the event as well. Our …
