Why do Singaporeans need to conserve water?
Economic growth, rising living standards and density of population threaten to create a serious water shortage, as reported in the Business section of Herald Tribune.
In the same report, we learn that Singapore gets much of its water from Johore under 2 agreements.
The first agreement expires in 2011 and the second agreement expires in 2061.
If we are unable to come up with a new agreement after 2061, can we survive?
Water usage in Singapore has escalated to levels the government finds dangerously wasteful.
