I was first introduced to the Singapore International Water Week (SIWW) by my erstwhile lecturer, Ms Koh Joh Ting, who’s now with PUB. I was invited to do it last year but had to turn it down because I was in the army, so when the opportunity came up this year, I grabbed it. With …
I read over the news announcing the outcomes of our Water Pressures workshop as part of the Water Leaders’ Summit at SIWW.

Contributed by Ashley Taylor and Amanda Costello Yesterday began our first day at Singapore International Water Week. We started the day by helping to set up the booth and making initial preparations.

I would say this year at SIWW will be a more amazing experience than last because there are some personal milestones for me. Last year I was a guest, shepherding students to write for SIWWdiary as a way to give journalism students a taste of real-time coverage of an important event. They had lots of …
Singapore’s The Business Times this weekend feature a conversation with the Symphony International Holdings founder Anil Thadani, who also is the chairman of Singapore Management University’s Enterprise Board. It was billboarded as focusing on “The upside of crazy” and focused on how his seemingly far-out plans pushed the limits of what was possible, but he still managed …
What do I expect to learn at SIWW this year? If the last few years are any indication, I’ll learn more and more about how countries like Brazil, South Africa and India are taking a holistic approach to water management. With a growing middle class and increases in their domestic quality of life, these countries …
