I just watched SIWW MD, Michael Toh’s interview about Singapore’s increased and consistent investment in next generation water technology as well as a quick preview on SIWW 2012. Michael talks about how Singapore embraces and welcomes new ideas and its ambition to “mimic nature” in how it treats and manages water. Our friend, Tom Freyberg, editor of Water and Wastewater International rather …
Hyflux, in partnership with PUB, Singapore’s national water agency, is breaking ground once again – this time, for Singapore’s second and largest seawater desalination plant in Tuas that will offer cheap and clean water. The plant, called the Tuaspring Desalination Plant, is built under the Design, Build, Own and Operate scheme, and will add 315,500 …
As a kid in primary school, I learned from a Chinese proverb that “Failure is the mother of success”. But I was lucky and had never gotten to experience failure till I was much older – for the simple reason being that I had never sought out any commitment that warranted success while in my …
It’s often said, usually by water people, that this sector is a cautious one. Which is desirable given the consequences of bad decision making by those tasked with delivering safe water supplies and sanitation. Singapore International Water Week’s TechXchange Workshop was proof, however, that caution is not inhibiting forward thinking. Far from it in fact. …
It is a full week at SIWW with great opportunities to exchange ideas with people from across the globe. While I have many opportunities to talk, I am most excited about my opportunities to listen! My first opportunity to “listen” is Monday at the TechXchange forum. Five presenters will discuss cutting edge technology they are …
Just so everything doesn’t get too serious. Please keep your inner filters (no pun intended!) on during SIWW. I present to you, THE CHLORINATOR, and I challenge you to out-kitsch me!
I bumped into Godart van Gendt, MD of memsys, leaving the SIWW 2011 media briefing just as some additional equipment for his pilot plant was being delivered. I was lucky enough to sit at a table with him for lunch earlier this year when he was explaining how he was about to set-up a pilot plant at …
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 …
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 …
As I stepped into Lower Seletar Reservoir frantically searching for the rain garden on the 27th of June, little did I know that I had just walked right past it. Its humble exterior really makes people overlook it and assume it is just a regular patch of plants. But, please do not belittle this little …
