Translation - English Singapore will have 4th desalination plants.
PUB, Water Agency in Singapore has planned to institute 4th desalination plants for preventing water shortages and being sufficient in the future. Moreover, this will make water resources's safety be more stable. This new desalination plants will be located at Marina East, received water from Marina Reservoir to generate 30 million gallons of fresh water per day. With former desalination plants, Singapore can generate 160 million gallons of fresh water per day and in 2060, will generate fresh water from brine 30% of water requirement's amount.
Nowadays, Singapore's water requirement is approximately 400 million gallons per day and could be estimated that in 2060 will double increase.
This 4th desalination plants is part of the government's plan for making sure that in 2060, Singapore can generate fresh water from desalination and Newater (the method which adjust dirty water into clean water). Furthermore, Singapore has a plan for preventing water shortages after the end of an agreement with Malaysia about delivery untreated water in 2061 by making more water resources. That plan can do by
- Institute 3rd desalination plants at Taus which will be finished in 2017 and generated 30 million gallons per day.
- Institute 5th Newater factory which will be finished in 2017, too. This factory can generate 50 million gallons of water per day.
Singapore was listed as a country which will have water shortages in danger in 2040. World Resources Institute in Washington surveyed 167 countries and reported 33 countries as the countries which have a terrible problem about water shortages. Singapore, Kuwait and Qatar were three of them. This rank used ability of depending on water from a surface such as lake and river to make competition.
However, government agencies and researchers in Singapore are studying new ways to increase water resources. Professor Asit Biswas, the Third World Centre for Water Management's Founder, believes that Singapore will not have a water shortages problem even in 2050 and said that Singapore have well managed about water. With high technology and developing management, Singapore planned to institute more desalination plants and generate fresh water from used water to reach 80% of the required amount in 2060. Moreover, Singapore will enlarge place to store the rain from 2/3 to 90% of Singapore's area in 2060.
Meanwhile, researchers at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have an idea about storing the rain in Singapore by structure the road which can absorb the rain and have the underground tank for storing. This project was designed and experimented in Sungei Kadut. It not only stores water, but also decrease the risk of flood, the rate of pollutants and makes environment go by its nature.
