Water fun can get apathetic youths moving!

Water relaxation

Water. It is a necessity in our daily lives but I wonder, how many of us living in Singapore actually do care about water? I admit I do not care much about water. Water, in my opinion, is already freely available and when I grow up, it will never run out. However, after I attended the talks at the Singapore International Water Week, I realize, water will run out eventually and we, as Singaporeans, should take charge in conserving water. A forum was held together with PUB to bring policymakers, experts, etc. to celebrate the achievements in the water world.

Talks about conserving water have been discussed and water activities are being held as well.  Listening to stories of how people struggle every day to have clean water is a wake-up call for me.

    It’s pleasing to hear that the stories alerted you to the problems. The next challenge is to find ways that you can do your part to conserve!
