SINGAPORE: NEWater, Singapore's high-quality reclaimed water, has shone again on the world stage.
It clinched the "Environmental Contribution of the Year" title at the Global Water Awards 2008 ceremony on Monday night in London.
This is the second award received by Singapore's national water agency PUB from the award organiser, Global Water Intelligence (GWI). In 2006, PUB was named the Water Agency of the Year in Dubai.
The "Environmental Contribution of the Year" award recognises stewardship in the water industry by way of a project, process or an organization that best reflects the ability of a water or waste-water plant that leaves a small environmental footprint.
This prestigious international award bears testimony to the success of NEWater as a viable and sustainable source of water.
In the citation for NEWater, Global Water Intelligence said Singapore is the world leader in the application of recycled water and its NEWater strategy has created the template for all water agencies looking to introduce potable water reuse. - CNA/ir
