Despite of not having a single natural water resource, Singapore is known for its well managed water management, distribution network and water technology. 

Singapore is holding the top rank in water management and becoming a hydro hub because of its location (A densely populated city) an island lacking freshwater lakes. All credit goes to its public utilities agency as Singapore receives more than half of its water supply from sources like rainwater collection, desalinated water, recycled water etc. And today country is almost self-sufficient in water. 

What are the best practices people of Singapore follow ? We will have discussion in today's blog.   

1) Rainwater collection practice.

Although Singapore is having fresh water resources, treatment plants and fresh water reservoirs people of the country are well aware with the past of the country, thus follow rainwater harvesting practice on higher rate than other developing countries. Singapore is one of its kind in regard of new water technologies and very much concussion about the necessity of drinking water for Singaporeans. Country is constructing two new dams to save country by flooding and to provide uninterrupted fresh water supply.
