NEWater is treated used water that has undergone stringent purification and treatment process using advanced dual-membrane (microfiltration and reverse osmosis) and ultraviolet technologies.
Since Feb 2003, NEWater has been supplied to wafer fabrication plants at Woodlands and Tampines/Pasir Ris and other industries for non-potable use. [ Non-potable means not for drinking purposes.
Starting in Sep 2002, NEWater is being mixed and blended with raw water in the reservoirs before undergoing conventional treatment at the waterworks for supply to the public for potable use. PUB has introduced 3 mgd of NEWater (about 1% of total daily water consumption) into our raw water reservoirs. The amount will be increased progressively to about 2.5% of total daily water consumption by 2011.
the 2 uses are process use and general washing. the other one is aircon cooling.

Only if the electricity used to power it is generated by hydroelectricity
hydropower or hydroelectricity is the power of water generated by water. we use this electricity everywhere it powers 24% of the worlds electricity.
Singapore uses 230 volts at 50Hz.
Solar energy is generated using solar panels that face the sun and gather the energy. Hydroelectric energy is generated by rushing water. The intense pressure creates a large amount of energy. Basically, solar energy uses the sun, and hydroelectric energy uses water.

United Airlines uses Terminal 3 in Singapore.
Hyro-electricity is the same as any other electricity. the Hydro- prefix merely denotes how the electricity was generated, in this case it was generated at a hydro-electric plant which uses the potential energy of elevated water to generate electricity.

It is mainly used for drinking. NEWater can also be used for many other purposes such as providing factories with water for washing purposes and so on.
