Two secondary1 students, Sally and Amy from Raffles Girls Secondary School meet at Amy’s house to do their geography project on the importance of Marina Barrage in Singapore’s Water Management eff

| Sally : Singapore is a small country with little natural resources. With a population of 5 million, Water scarcity becomes an issue. The consumption of water per person is growing. | |
 | |  |
|
 |
| | |
| Amy : Because each of us adopt the most affluent lifestyle of developed world. Singapore’s current per capita domestic water consumption is about 153 litres per day. | |

They were discussing with each other about the information they had gathered for their project.
|
|
|
|
| | |
| We are currently having four big National taps that supply water. They are (1) Local Catchment, (2) Imported Water (from Johor), (3) NE Water and (4) Desalinated Water. | |
| | |
|
|
| | |
| The local catchments water refers to the Singapore’s 17 reservoirs which includes the Marina Barrage. The reservoirs occupy about two-thirds of Singapore's land area to collect enough rain water | |
| | |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| | |
| Imported water refers to the water which is imported from Johar Bahru, Malaysia. There were 2 treaties which Singapore had with Malaysia, one ended in 2011 and other ending in 2061. | |
| | |
|
 |
| | |
| . After 2061 we will have to find a way to meet our own water needs. Marina Barrage will help us do this. | |
