Only 30% water fr MY in 2011
-
Dependency on Malaysia reduced from about 50% to 28 % in 2011
Currently,Sg consumed about 500Mm3,million cubic meter per year.Few knows that only 50 % come from MY.It is one of the best kept secret!It is about 1,200,000m3 x 50%=600,000m3 per day come fr MY.
2. Not more than 30% of water from Malaysia in 2011
With the completion of desalination plant(10% of yearly consumption),Marina Barrage,and inter-connectionof all reservoirs(55%x 14%=8%).
Projected sources of water supply in 2011,per day,in m3
Local catchment............740,000...m3 catchment increased fr 50 to 67%
NEWater.......................208,000
Desalination.................134,000
Marina Reservoir............80,000 my estimate
Reservoirs intergrated.100,000 per MM LEE speech
Total local sources....1,262,000
Let say yearly increase in water consumption is 3%.Then in 2011,we need 1,740,000m3 per day.That is we need import 480,000m3 water from MY.
That is not more than 28% of our consumption in 2011.
Serangoon & Punngol -- 2 new reservoirs formed by damming 2 rivers in 2011.
Lower Seletar Res. will be expanded.
3. Billions $ questions!!Why Sg sales of water is decreasing?From 2002 to 2004,
sales drops from 1,259,000 m3 per day to 1,203,000 m3,but
water treated increased fr 1,315,000m3 to 1,369,000m3 ?
NEWater is one of the answers.68,000m3 is sold per day in 2004.
4.Industrial water
A low grade non-potable reclaimed water fr sewage for industrial use,
is produced about 95,000m3 per day. -
Beige in color is current water catchment area.Green is water
catchment area of proposed Reservoirs of Marina,Sg Puggol ,
Sg Serangoon and and Lower Seletar.All the new and extended
reservoirs will be ready in 6 years .
Dunt tease us .We have done enough to avoid conflict!! -
there is a thread about this recently.

Death to Mahathir!
-
they are having problems with water supply too. wouldnt be surprised if they have to eat their own words and start drinking newater.
-
i trust our garmen is doing their utmost to find more sources of water. dun think there will be problem. hurray to them!

Its great to be self sufficent and not be arm twisted by Malaysia.

Why Sg can build desalination plant so cheap??
1.Sg cost
The S$200m desalination plant, which is located in Tuas, will supply over 136,000 m3 of desalinated water per day, to meet some 10% of SingaporeÂ’s water needs.
Press release 16.01.2004.The plant has been in operation few months ago.
2.Aussie cost
The gross cost for NSW to build is A$1.3 B
less
A$30m in compensation to the owners of Sydney's main water
filtration plant ,that is A$1270 million=S$1,524 million just for
the plant.
3.Cost of desalination plant:
Where..............Capacity--m3.......Cost S$Million......when completed
Spore................136,000.................200....................2005
Australia...........125,000...............1,524....................under planning -
Water in north not easy to filter read below.
1 NEWater makes Chance of Water conflict reducedThat's exactly what the Ulu Pandan plant may achieve. Keppel Integrated
STimes 13.07.05
Engineering chief executive Chua Chee Wui said his company would supply Newater to PUB at only 30 cents per cubic metre. This is believed to be lower than the cost at which PUB was producing Newater at the three older plants.
How much you pay for water?Dunt be anger with PUB for it paid millions for infrastructures.We can solve water problems in our back yard.The reservoirs in the north is dispensable in the future,voluntarily.
2.Water in north not easy to filterRM1b to clean up rivers in Johor
The rivers names sound familiar?Yes,some of our water come from there.Cheers to water independent---with NEWater of course!!
Sim Bak Heng,New Strait Times of Malaysia.(NOT STimes report!!)
JOHOR BARU, June 5 2005
RM 1 billion. That is how much Johor needs to clean up the three most polluted rivers in the State.
Pos Malaysia The three rivers — Sungai Skudai, Sungai Tebrau and Sungai Segget — carry pollutants such as organic waste in the form of sewage water and garbage into the Johor Straits.
Besides the pollution, what makes the clean-up more expensive are the geographical locations of the respective river mouths.
For instance, the estuary of Sungai Segget is located at the Johor Baru city centre, the southern gateway to the peninsula.
The river mouth of Sungai Skudai is at the newly-developed tourism destination, Danga Bay, where a marina is to be built.
This explains why the State Government is willing to spend big money to clean up the rivers as the cost to be incurred later would be much higher if the ecology of the rivers is adversely affected.
State Tourism and Environment Committee chairman Freddie Long told the New Straits Times that the construction of a centralised sewage treatment system was the key to cleaner rivers.
"It is not going to be a cheap project.
"However, if we do not proceed with it now, it will become even more expensive," he said.
According to the State Department of Environment, the installation of a centralised sewage treatment system at Sungai Skudai would cost RM500 million, while those for Sungai Segget and Sungai Tebrau would cost another RM500 million.
Long said the system involved the laying of sewage pipes linked to a central treatment plant.
Sewage water would be treated at the plant before it was discharged into the rivers.
He said the Natural Resources and Environment Ministry had approved the project, while the Economic Planning Unit had set aside allocations for it to be implemented under the Ninth Malaysia Plan.
"We have completed a study on the design of the system.
"We are conducting a hydraulic study on the project. When everything is completed, we will appoint three consultants for the project. Each will be in charge of one river," he said.
Long said the project would also involve urban land acquisition. -

Third Newater Plant on Stream as Water Sector Opens Up
Even Dubai trust our technology
June 19 2004 ,Business Times
....................
Total Newater output of 45 mgd will exceed 10 per cent of SingaporeÂ’s daily water needs by 2006 - comfortably ahead of the expiry of SingaporeÂ’s 1961 water supply agreement with Malaysia, which ends by 2011.
The Seletar plant, designed and built by homegrown Hyflux, is the first here to use a locally-made ultra-fine 0.02 micron membrane that promises higher efficiency at reduced cost. The previous two Newater plants used imported membranes that were 0.1 micron thick, Hyflux CEO Olivia Lum said yesterday.
Ulu Pandan will be the first Newater plant to be awarded on a design, build, own and operate basis, contracted to supply water to PUB for 20 years.Hyflux secures multi-million deal with Dubai

October 9 2004 ,TODAY
A multi-million-dollar deal secured by local firm Hyflux has transformed SingaporeÂ’s efforts on economic engagement with the Middle East into a tangible plan of action.
The water treatment specialist company yesterday signed a deal worth more than US$400 million ($672 million). It will design, build and operate water and waste-water treatment plants in water-scarce Dubai in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), over the next three years.
We have land to build water reclamation or desalination plants,(have u been in Tuas or Changi Naval Base recently.tHe empty land in both locations are
big enough to build more than 2 airports.Take a bus fr Jurong interchange to Tuas to see .)
We have technology and material,ample of financing fr banks and educated
man power.There is no need to fight for water.

S$800 million can solve all the water problem
After the desalination plant in operation in 2005,60% of water can be
collected locally.
It costs about S$200 m to build a desalination plant to supply
10 % of Sg's water demand.So S$800m can build desalination plants to
replace the remaining 40% water.The price is keeping on dropping.
Of course,it will not be done.The best is natural rain water.
What if the MY's tap closed?
The full capbacity of all Sg reservoirs is about 100 days of our demand.
If it is cut off,we have at least a short period of time complain to UN.
Though,LKY once told Dr M that we would advance if the taps is closed.
Read LKY book lah.
So no need to worry the tap is closed.We wont die. -
The Aussie desalination plant is really cost so much.Some may think
one Billion=100million.But this news prove Aussie means one billion= 1000 million.Don White, who chairs the Nature Conservation Council of NSW, said subsidising rainwater tanks in backyards was a simple solution.The council has calculated that if the Government paid $1000 to fit 5000-litre tanks in all 1.5 million households (of Sydney), it would cost $1.5billion, or $200million less than the expected cost of the desalination plant.
Is it so simple a water tank can help??
How come we can build the plant at a cost fraction of Aussie? -
Now where's the machine that can turn moisture in the air into water?
