How much water does Singapore consumes in a year currently?

Answer 1

Using figures from the Ministy of the Environment and Water Resources, the daily requirement of water in Singapore is 1.36 billion litres per day, of which 0.72 billion litres are for domestic use. Over a year this equates to 496 billion litres total use and overall domestic use of 263 billion litres.

50% of this consumption is supplied by rainfall, with the remainder originating from imports from neighbouring Malaysia. Two contracts for water importation from Malaysia are due to end in 2011 and 2061, the two countries are engaged in a price dispute over the charges which has lead the government to implement measures to become self-sufficient in its water supply. These include conservation, building additional reservoirs and the worlds largest desalination plant.
