Our water story has always been deeply intertwined with innovation. Born from the challenges of our early nationhood was an innovative spirit that drove us to pioneer cutting-edge water reuse technology in our 1972 Water Master Plan. Three decades later, with bold leadership and unwavering resilience, we transformed this vision into reality with NEWater as our third national tap.   In the latest feature by The World Bank blog, we join international water leaders to share insights on implementing water reuse technologies, and how NEWater has become a crucial pillar of our water sustainability strategy.   As we celebrate World Water Day this March, we will continue learning from diverse global practices, to accelerate the adoption of sustainable water technologies and strengthen water security worldwide. 💧🌍🌱   #WaterSustainability #NEWater #OurWaterStory #WaterInnovation #UrbanWater
