After a few words with my taxi driver, it was down to business. The media briefing focused on a new element this year: TechXchange, which our technology leader Cindy Wallis-Lage will help moderate on Monday 4 July. Five budding researchers were on hand to answer questions and Elaine Quek, Manager, Technology & Water Quality Office presented …
Millions die of water-related diseases. These include those under five, who could have a bright future. Does anyone care about them? Are we doing enough? I have attended the Asia Pacific Youth Water Forum. We were told how Singapore has progressed and how it is an essential to have clean drinkable water. This should be …
I must admit that it was rather daunting to know the fact that I was going to be sitting through an eight-hour long forum. However, to my utmost surprise, the Asia Pacific Youth Water Forum managed to engage me for the entire time with various influential public figures sharing interesting facts and solutions to the …
I went to the Singapore International Water Festival prepared for pitches on water conservation and appreciation, but was surprised when I saw sports activities, which I thought were not linked to water issues. After speaking to some of the people there, I learnt that structures such as the Marina Barrage can be beneficial not only …
At the SIWF, I was curious as to why students were walking around the barrage under the blazing sun, in traditional costumes that were not providing the slightest cool. I approached them.

As I watched dragon boaters race in the water, and members of the audience drink water from their water bottles, I could see the importance of water. Despite the fun and the apparent frivolity of water …
When people talk about water conservation, it is more than just science. It’s also about how people bond over how they experience water. That’s the biggest lesson for me at the Asia Pacific Youth Water Forum 2010, held on 26 Jun, in conjunction with Singapore International Water Week. Unlike most seminars regarding similar issues, it …
The event I attended was the Asia Pacific Youth Water Forum. During the forum, many youth from different countries shared their respective country’s problems in relation to water. The presentation that had the biggest impact on me would definitely be the one by the delegate from the Philippines. He showed us pictures of the Philippines: …
I attended the Asia Pacific Youth Water Forum 2010 on the 26 June. It was very informative in explaining the importance of water to the world and measures which countries have been taking to conserve water. One speaker stood out for trying really hard to persuade us that “how fast we can replace [the water] …
