| Hmms. what were the problems faced by singapore in providing enough water for the population and how much water did we have in 1965? | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| Singapore is an island and has no big rivers or anything. So Water must be imported from other countries or must come from the sea by desalting the sea water. Also, we had 1364 litres of water then. | |
 | |  |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 | |  |
| what was our water consumption then? Also, how has this changed over time? | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| Through our various water conservation initiatives, Singapore has managed to reduce domestic water consumption from 172 litres per capita per day in 1995 to 157 litres in 2007. | |
