Singapore and Malaysia have signed four agreements to regulate the supply of water from Malaysia to Singapore.
One major conflict of Singapore is that Singapore and Malaysia had some conflict about water - 40% of Singapore's water comes from Malaysia.
Singapore's population is rising and the total water usage is increasing. Although Singapore is recycling sewage water, it can only supply 10% of the population. Singapore is also desalinating seawater, but it is too slow to meet the demands of Singaporeans. Hence, Singapore has to buy most of the water from countries like Malaysia. If somehow, Malaysia has a grudge on Singapore, Singapore's water will not last even long.
The total number of water catchment areas in Singapore are 17.
Well, the reservoirs in Singapore are one of the ways Singapore gets it's water.
Singapore's 4 national taps Singapore's 4 national taps are:1) Water from local catchment2) Imported water from Johor3) Desalinated water from the sea4) Reclaimed/Recycled water from local waste water (NEWater)
Currently 100 million gallons of water a day comes from two desalination plants in Singapore. Together these can provide for 25 % of Singapore's water needs.
