The four national taps have been able to provide a low-cost, reliable and long term solution to the water crisis in Singapore. The four taps are: local catchments, desalinated water, imported water and ne-water.
1) Local catchment areas
Imported water
If Singapore goes through a drought it will still have a water supply from Johor.
Does not require land and hence frees up the land for other uses
It is cheaper than NEWwater
May not be enough to meet water demands.
If Johor goes through a drought they will cut off water supply to Singapore.
Water agreements will eventually end and there are no guarantees of future agreements
Local catchment areas
Takes advantages of Singapore water source.
Beautifies the land
The local catchment areas are usually near forests and the lake will provide water for the trees therefore not as many trees will die.
Less land for other things
If we have a drought we will not be able to support ourselves.
If people through litter into the catchment areas we will have polluted water.
NEWater
It is purer than usual tap water in most countries.
It is not dependent on the rainfall
If we go through a drought we will still have NEWater as water supply.
The public does not really want to drink there pee no matter how much it goes through desalination.
It is very expensive
Desalinated water
If we go through a drought we will still have Desalinated water.
Singapore has a limitless supply to sea water.
More people would want to drink it compared to NEWwater as it does not come from our atse matter people think it not so "dirty"
It is very expensive
There is a lot of chemicals that have been extracted from the sea water to make it clean and if you do not dispose of the chemicals properly it WILL cause pollution
Singapore has 4 national taps, namely local catchment areas, imported water, NEWater and desalination. Local catchment areas collect rainwater, taking advantage of Singapore's high rainfall. As the name suggests, imported water means that Singapore imports water from Johor, which is in Malaysia. As for NEWater, it is sewage that has been treated. It is potable (I myself have drank NEWater many times), although it is mostly used in wafer fabrication plants. Lastly, for desalination, it is to remove minerals from seawater. Singapore is surrounded by water, and as such this is a viable source of water. The government is planning to have desalination meet 25% of Singapore's water demands by 2060. All these national taps ensure that Singapore has sufficient water and if any of the 4 taps were absent, the country would probably face a water shortage.
Reservoir/ water catchment areas
Desalination of sea water
NEWater
Water from Malaysia
The four national taps are the Local Catchment water, Imported water, NEWater and Desalinated water.
1) Water from local catchment
2) Imported water from Johor
3) Desalinated water from the sea
4) Reclaimed/Recycled water from local waste water (NEWater)
Local catchment water, Imported water (from Johor), NEWater and Desalinated Water
I don’t know
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)

4 sounds
you need to beat the elite 4 and have the national dex
4 sounds.
You can hear 4 distinct sounds while saying the word "land" in sync with hand taps or clapping.
8-4:30 M-F generally unless you are in the field or on watch etc. Reveille is 5:30 Taps 10:00. Semper Fi, Do or Die, Death from Above, etc.
Singapore is a small country that supports 4 Million in population. Singapore does not have much potable water available. Through the 4 National Taps, Singapore manages to provide sufficient water for her citizens. They are 1) Seawater desalination 2) Buying water from Malaysia 3)NEWater (reclaimed sewage water through reverse osmosis) 4) Water catchment from reservoirs. :)
