Newater









And a visit to the famed Newater visitors center which lived up to its reputation. For those who don't know, Newater is treated wastewater that is reused in industry. For a industrial luddlite like me, the sight of all that high technology is scary and awe-inspiring (couldn't get good photos of the actual plant as the glass windows distorted them). And the graph (2nd picture above) is the most impressive: between 2003 and 2012, Singapore increased the contribution of Newater to its water supply system from 2% to 30%. Now that is a major shift in a single decade. These guys here *really* have their act together.
