I have learnt that we should conserve and value water as it is very precious and about how much of the water demand does NEWater contribute to in comparison to the other of the four national taps. I have also learnt about how minerals are removed from used water to make NEWater.
2) Name 2 concepts you have learned today during the visit.
I have learnt that for micro-filtration of the used water, they have to increase the size of the minerals and water such that water molecules will just be able to pass through the holes while all other contaminants would not be able to pass through. I have also learnt that NEWater cannot be used directly and must be added to the reservoirs first.
3) What is the 1 interesting thing you have learned today.
I have learned that water undergoing treatment in the NEWater Plant has to be checked every 8 hours to ensure it is safe for human consumption.
4) What are the things you can do to help with water conservation in Singapore?
I could try to use minimal amount of water each day so the amount of water I used would be reduced. I could also try to reuse water so an amount of water would be able to be used for more than 1 function and would be more useful.
