Today is World Environment Day. One way we can help protect the environment is by conserving water.
At the recent Global Water Awards 2021, the international water community recognised PUB, Singapore's National Water Agency as the “Resilient Water Agency of the Year”. The Keppel Marina East Desalination Plant, officially opened in February, was named the Desalination Plant of the Year.
PUB has been working hard to ensure water security for Singapore. Its efforts have won awards yearly since 2018, a testament to their commitment to innovation and technology, especially amid the pandemic and climate change. Congratulations PUB for this latest well-deserved accolade!
While technology has helped us in our water journey, do continue to save water whenever you can. #MakeEveryDropCount! – LHL

《紐約時報》:乾旱危機中的台灣—保晶片廠供水,停農田灌溉。
本篇跟同學分享紐約時報針對台灣乾旱 (drought) 所做的報導,報導中討論以台積電為首的高科技產業用水情形。以及農民因為限水 (water constraint) 而停止灌溉 (irrigation) 農田面臨休耕 (fallow) 的困境 (morass)。其中也探討民眾的用水習慣是否浪費、政府訂水價過低與否的議題。
你覺得呢?在高科技產業與農民之間該如何取捨?👨🌾👩🌾

water desalination 在 Lee Hsien Loong Facebook 的最讚貼文
Over the weekend, venues across Singapore have been bathed in blue to commemorate World Water Day, which falls on 22 March.
Tomorrow is the last night you can head out and snap a few photos during this special “blue hour”. You can also search for #GoBlue4SG on social media to see what others have uploaded or share your photos here!
Whether you’re snapping photos, enjoying the sights, joining the many specially organised events (https://go.gov.sg/heatmapfb2), or shopping #GoBlue4SG deals, remember that every drop of water matters. We are doing all we can to maximise every drop of water, but we all have to do our part to #MakeEveryDropCount. – LHL
