Sustaining Singapore's Water Supply | Food, Energy, Water - Part 3 | Full Episode

Climate Change has made water scarcer than ever, so much so that in some parts of the world, water has become a tradeable commodity.
Markets might work in some territories, but technological solutions are in high demand everywhere. That, along with public education on using water most efficiently. Stories featured include a look back at how Cape Town averted a water crisis in its worst drought in 384 years, water rationing exercises in Singapore’s past and current enhancements to water management, and the costs and benefits of Australia’s water market.

    “What may take time to see is that you were born for these times. You were destined to enter the world at a time when humanity would be facing these Great Waves of change. Your higher purpose in coming here is connected to this, for this is the greater context of life into which you will be functioning increasingly as time goes on.” - “Food, Water and Energy” (2009) from the book 'The New World Prophecy' by Marshall Vian Summers.

    Ok you know there are some people that comment on this video that is not related at all I wonder they finished the documentary after all I don't think so this water problem was so critical that we need to ask one question. How many of us really thanks and even appreciate for the this remarkable gift have we blessed GOD for water he blessed us with I know we used to for the food but never for water !!why because it is plentiful!!!now you think the water is bad news right there is something even taken for granted if you are smart will answer it without any Guess this is scary it is even so needed for our servival it is called air !! now for once if you care your little childrens future and existence ask this question please why this happening now you don't have to be religious I am not they proven to be a complete useless but u have to be spiritual ok ask again what the message I say this GOD says u little Creation of mine are not in control you have to beg forgiveness for better harvest for clean water and air and safety to say the list !!! finally begging the wrong GOD also waste of time u have to appeal for right God for it to work !! to make it short if traditional religion God was the Right one the results would have been blessings and joy to the mankind !!! then who is the real GOD!!I only leave the clue all religion what do they scared about that mess up their calling , who are oppressed in every culture form past till now , who are the most beautiful thing in whole wide world and finally who are scarred of this creature now if you want to represent devil and God by male and female which suits best for each one ! I found out recently if you don't believe in God you must believe in nature that is a must and nobody I repeat nobody mess with nature so what do we call her !!! That's the answer for u by the Way I am 35years old man that's Neal to my God I see the cruelty of a man and the oppession of the devil and the oppression of man towards the most beautiful Creation in the whole wide world women!! women's means life !!the in the universe in any living things that blessed and given to have this honour and God means life so which represents best!! maybe he crazy if you said this next will be air you breath ! But me I am feel proud to worship my yes I said it to my beautiful, loving, caring and nurturing mother she is my God!!! and spit on a devil !!!

    With more energy trapped in the atmospher, we get a more energetic climate. Climate change is a result of the increasing amount energy in the climate system and thus the increasingly more violent climate.

    why many countries dont build desalination plant for water, extracts ocean to clean water. i know its expensive but we need to move forward as ground water, wells and fresh drying out.

    Its because not only is expensive to build, but also continuously operate and is typically harmful the environment. Basically it takes both a large amount of energy (and wind/solar sources dont operate 24/7 so you're using another source as well) As far as other cost, the most common type of desalinization relies on filters that have to be changed regularly and salt water is highly corrosive, so repairs. The byproduct brine left over from desalinization is often released back in the environment as the plants produce more salt than we have a use for. As such, its often dumped back into the ocean, increasing the concentration of the salt in that region, and makes that area of the ocean unusable for flora/fauna. You cant dump it on land for the same reason ("Sowed the fields with salt" is a saying indicating total destruction for a reason). It is a major area of investment though world wide, with the technology constantly improving. Its really only a "good" solution for areas without adequate fresh water offerings. As such you do see many of them in the Middle East primarily as they have the energy, money, and need.

    Well - at about 17:30 I had to stop. A lot of complaints of ( obviously ignorant and uncooperative ) people and then this almost Indian amount of plastic waste at the streams - probably caused by exactly the same people.

    In Singapore, could both ends of Pulau Ubin be damp-up with the main land to form a huge reservoir? Just like the Marina Barrage. We can be self sufficient & independent from water supply from Johor when the contract ends in 2061. Otherwise we will always be at the mercy of Johor supplying water to Singapore. Johor will increase the cost by 100+ fold when the times come. 🤔 😂😂😂

    Singapore is one of the world's largest arms exporter with one of the world's strongest military since the 1970s. Do your research first. Being a nuclear country is not even good. Everyone wants peace. With nuclear threats, peace will be distrubted. That is why Singapore go against it. This is common sense. Of course, we go against other country with nuclear might mean they attacked us with their nuclear arsenal. So Singapore had long ago developed the Chemical(B), Biological(B) Radiological(R) and Nuclear(N) defence to protect our country against threats.
