The non-domestic sector will take up two-thirds of total water demand by 2065.
Mee Toh School principal Wang-Tan Sun Sun and SBS Plan and Project Department's Chua Eng Kian receiving the Singapore Watermark Award and the Water Efficiency Award , respectively.For SBS Transit, the answer was simple: Recycle it, by using underground tanks at the bus depots and separating the water from oil and sludge to make it clean so it can be used again to wash more buses.
The project has enabled SBS Transit to save up to 25 per cent of water per bus washed and helped earn the public transport operator the Water Efficiency Award – an inaugural award by national water agency PUB to honour projects that have improved water efficiency and showed innovativeness in conserving water.
Speaking at the Flower Field Hall in Gardens by the Bay, Minister for Sustainability and the Environment Grace Fu underlined the need for the non-domestic sector to be more water-efficient. At the school, a group of student leaders known as “environment champions” organise projects for environmental causes and share information on water conservation during school assemblies. They also go on occasional trips outside of school to identify or learn about environmental problems and come up with innovative solutions.
