Abstract
With the rapid development of industrialization and globalization, water issues are increasingly serious today, including water scarcity and water pollution. As a developed country, Singapore is trapped in these water issues. Although the Singapore government deals with the problem quite effectively, there are still some disadvantages about their policies such as the cost. Hence, an original solution was come up with and relative information was searched online to further illustrate it. The original solution was analyzed and evaluated. It turns out that the original solution may be effective for many reasons.
1.0 Introduction
In order to come up with new ways to solve the water scarcity in Singapore, much information is researched to understand the situation of water scarcity in Singapore to help to make the new solution more effective. When it comes to water, fresh water is quite essential for the whole world. The freshwater used by Earth’s 6 ¾ billion people for agriculture, industry, recreation, tourism and municipal use. Also, freshwaters are an important source of energy for humans and many other living things (The importance of freshwater, 2012). In terms of water chemistry, water is called the universal solvent because more substances dissolve in water than in any other chemical. Hence, it is easy for water to dissolve different substances, including toxic substances. Also, it is easy to cause water pollution, which may do harm to human health and sharpen the water scarcity in Singapore (Helmenstine, 2008).
Some other background information about water should be covered,
