Research Topic, Rationale and Methodology

WATER SUSTAINABILITY

By: 12sh03

Our research topic/ question:

NEWater in Singapore and the technology behind NEWater

Rationale for our choice of research question:

NEWater is one of Singapore’s four main national taps, which was initially explored in 1998 to reduce reliance on water imported from Malaysia. The government has been placing a lot of focus on further development of NEWater in hopes of achieving Singapore’s aim of self-sustainability. Therefore, it is rationale to analyse the process in which wastewater is treated (NEWater).

Methodology behind our research work:

Information about NEWater will be provided by PUB’s (Public Utilities Board) government website: http://www.pub.gov.sg/water/newater/Pages/default.aspx

Mode of presentation of our research findings:

To be chosen at a later date. (We are unsure which mode of presentation that we will be using)
