It is for drinking and industrial purposes.
Wastewater is purified through the following processes:
1) Microfiltration
2) Reverse Osmosis
3) Ultraviolet Disinfection
NEWater - is the brand name of Singapore's reclaimed water.
the 2 uses are process use and general washing. the other one is aircon cooling.
I think NEWater is supposedly ''invented'' in Singapore (but i don't really know).

They are NEWater, desalinated water, imported water from Johor and local catchment water.
Electricity is generated in Singapore from natural gas.
NEWater is urine collected from our toilets to be recycled into safe drinking water. It goes through three procedures starting with microfiltration, reverse osmosis and then ultra-violet radiation. This is a clever way to recycle water but uses a large amount of energy.
