Water Expo & World Cities Summit Expo




by Majella Gomes

Water will be the focus for the next few days at Suntec International Convention & Exhibition Centre. Singapore International Water Week fountained off to a rousing start with an optimistic address by Guest of Honour Mr Teo Chee Hean, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Defence at its opening yesterday evening.

“Ensuring a safe, reliable and affordable

supply of water is one of the major challenges faced by cities,” said Mr Teo. “As water is a scarce resource in many parts of the world, it is even more critical for cities to manage this resource well in order to secure their own future.”

He said that water had always been a key consideration in the country’s master-planning due to its critical role in the nation’s very survival. The Water Week, run in conjunction with the second

World Cities Summit, has as its theme “Sustainable Cities – Clean and Affordable Water”

In 1950, the world had only two megacities, New York and Tokyo, with more than ten million people. Fifty years later, this had multiplied tenfold, and by 2025, we can expect to have 29. Cities are major producers of the goods and services, but they also have a huge appetite for resources, and generate large amounts of waste, consuming energy and contributing to carbon emissions. Climate change and its impact on coastal cities, have added a new layer of complexity. Ensuring a safe, reliable and affordable supply of water is a major challenge.

“Through careful planning and stringent pollution control, we have been able to create 15 reservoirs, with another two being developed by next year,” he continued. “Water

reuse and desalination are other commercially viable solutions which also work. With water demand forecast to double in the next 50 years, Singapore plans to collect every drop of rain by expanding our catchment areas to 90% of our land area.”

The Deputy Prime Minister also suggested three ways of facing current challenges: share expertise between cities; leverage on global platforms, such as the Singapore International Water Week and World Cities Summit; and further support research, development and test-bedding solutions.

“The growth of cities can take place in harmony with the environment,” he concluded. “People congregate in cities because of the promise of a better life which cities can offer. It is our collective responsibility to live up to this promise. After all, these are the places which we all call home.”

Water is essential for life. Yet despite the fact that there is enough freshwater in the world, its uneven distribution and poor water management have resulted in water scarcity being prevalent in many areas around the world.

Themed “Sustainable Cities: Clean and Affordable Water”, the Singapore International Water Week 2010 will focus on the need for efficient and cost effective solutions to address water problems amidst a constantly changing environment.

Other key activities include eight Business Forums, covering business opportunities in key water markets of the world, together with the inaugural Asia-Pacific Water Ministers’ Forum and River Basin & Delta Management Workshop.

I would like to congratulate the Yellow River Conservancy Commission of the People’s Republic of China for winning this year’s Lee Kuan Yew Water Prize, which will be presented by Singapore’s Minister Mentor

Welcome message Dr Yaacob IbrahimMinister for the Environment and Water Resources

and former Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew. Attendees of the award ceremony can look forward to another insightful dialogue session with Minister Mentor.

I would also like to thank the Singapore Millennium Foundation, our 17 Founding Sponsors as well as other sponsors, strategic partners, and supporting organisations for their support of the Singapore International Water Week 2010. I wish you a fruitful and enjoyable time in Singapore.

Water Week has come so far so quicklyby Geoff Andrew

From a basic idea in 2006 to a launch in 2008 to an expected 12,000 participant attendance mega event in 2010.

Those basic facts provided by SIWW Managing Director Michael Toh summarise the rapid growth experienced by Singapore International Water Week, which is this week celebrating its 3rd edition at Suntec Singapore International Convention & Exhibition Centre.

For people thinking that managing a major international event must itself be a mammoth task, we need to know that Toh doubles up as Senior Deputy Director for Industrial Development at Singapore’s National Water Agency PUB, provider of water services for the Island State.

In his PUB role, Toh was closely involved in the decision by the Singapore Government four years ago to develop water as a new

growth sector.Funds were made

available for R & D to facilitate companies and universities to develop new technologies and to ensure that skilled manpower, local and from overseas, would be in place.

The underlying need for a small island nation would be to manage water resources through good planning and good management of local water and imported water whilst developing new resources via desalination and “new water”.

This is reflected in Singapore’s “Four National Taps” strategy, which sets out regularly updated targets for water supply from the four key sources :

• Local reservoir water• Imported water from

neighbouring Malaysia• De-salination supplies• NEWater (or, membrane

techno logy, separating water from impurities)

Over the last four years,

working with both local and overseas partners, PUB has enhanced water management to the stage of losing only 4% of supply to leakage – an amazingly low level of loss, according to Toh.

And, by conceiving the ABC Waters programme (Active, Beautiful, Clean), PUB has been able to deliver tangible benefits to the people of Singapore.

The Singapore Government felt that such a record of achievement would provide an opportunity for the country to share experiences and solutions with other nations throughout ASEAN, Asia-Pacific and Middle East.

The Singapore International Water Week has been the result and in three editions beginning 2008, attendees have increased from 8000 to an expected 12000; 79 countries represented to 84; and an increase in participating companies to more than 500.

The event also coincides with the annual award of the prestigious Lee Kuan Yew Water Prize to recognise true innovation and achievements in the field of water technology and management.

Michael Toh is proud to have been able to help to

achieve the Government’s strategy in this new growth sector, but also relieved that he will soon be able to revert to having only one major job – at least for a few months, until work begins on Singapore International Water Week 2011 !

Perfect regional partner for WHO

by Majella Gomes

Singapore in the 1970s is a far cry from the Singapore of the new millennium. It is precisely because of the quantum leaps made by the city-state in many key areas of environmental and utility management that it is in the ideal position to be the main collaborator on WHO’s water quality and management programmes in the Asia Pacific region.

“Excellence in management is a Singapore hallmark,” said Robert Bos (Co-ordinator, Water, Sanitation, Hygiene and Health, World Health Organisation). “Singapore was chosen for a leadership role because it has evolved into a highly-developed society despite being faced with numerous challenges and being limited by numerous constraints. Singapore’s PUB, in particular, is an exemplary model of how limited resources need to be managed in a dynamic, urbanised environment.”

He added that although WHO already had a good

administrative infrastructure in its regional centres of Delhi and Manila, Singapore’s advantage was that it exhibited the type of public-private sector partnership which was integral to achieving the stated goals of WHO programmes. These focused on technology, research & development, capacity-building and exchange of information as they relate to drinking water quality and safe management of water resources.

Dwindling water resources and the urgent need to manage those already in existence were

among the reasons for the establishment of the Co-operation Arrangement of Safe Management of Drinking Water, which was signed in Stockholm in 2007. Singapore was seen as the best, most capable candidate to helm the undertaking in this part of the world. He singled out Singapore’s effective dengue control programme as another example of how water management and health issues cannot be treated independently of each other.

Commenting on the need to disseminate information on what needs to be done in the light of dwindling resources, he said, “In fact, Singapore International Water Week is a very appropriate platform to push the WHO agenda focusing the spotlight on the need to manage water resources. It complements Stockholm Water Week; plus Singapore’s expertise and energy – through PUB’s input – has added value to the work undertaken by various UN agencies in the past three decades.”

Expect excellent insights from the Water Convention this year; Co-chair Darryl Day says the program is the best ever at Singapore International Water Week to date.

“For me, it’s a fantastic program,” said Day, who is also General Manager, Remote Operations, Power & Water Corporation, Australia. “It has leaders in a number of key areas from technology to water health. The response to putting the program together and the quality of speakers has been outstanding.”

Those leaders include Jose Rene Almendras, president, Manila Water Company; Paul Brown, President, Public Services Group, Camp Dresser & McKee Inc; Maria Neira, Director, Public Health & Environment, World Health Organization; and Arjun Thapan, Special Senior Advisor to the Asian Development Bank’s President for Infrastructure and Water. All are slated as keynote speakers.

“There’s a wonderful story involving the Philippines capital, Manila - a large metropolitan city challenged with underdeveloped infrastructure from the past,” said Day, some of which he said Mr. Almendras would share. “There is learning and inspiration to be shared with the whole region.”

The Water Convention, which kicks off today, will explore four key themes: Solutions for water system efficiency and effectiveness; planning for sustainable water solutions; water quality and health; and governance and finance. These themes will be explor-ed particularly in the light of challenges experienced by East Asia, Asia Pacific and the Middle East.

Themes this year are a reflection of helpful feedback given at last year’s Singapore International Water Week.

“We have certainly listened to the issues people were talking about in Singapore last year,” according to Day. “We have added a new stream on governance and finance as a result of feedback from the region.”

So don’t expect the same-old-same-old water conference topics.

“The Water Convention, unlike conventional water conferences, targets solutions to overcome water challenges,” said Harry Seah, Director, Technology & Water Quality Office at PUB, which is Singapore’s national water agency. “The themes are designed to cover all aspects of water treatment and management. The presentations are selected to showcase applications of technological solutions, and for presenters to share their experiences - both good

and bad - and the lessons learned in applying these solutions to full-scale plants.”

Attendees also can look forward to a multitude of fascinating poster presentations. Everyone will be much better prepared for water business and even a good game of trivia after learning more about everything from disinfection of seawater to how to inspire leadership in policy making in the Kingdom of Morocco. On Thursday, the Best Poster Award will be presented.

Mr Day, meanwhile, isn’t someone focused only on the water here-and-now. “I’m keenly and passionately

interested in planning for a sustainable future in water”.

It’s important to start viewing the world of the future now, which involves a carbon-constrained economy, Day added.

“The other side of thinking about climate change is really adaptation,” Day said, stressing that efficiency is a good way to cope.

“Much of the focus on water and energy is around efficiency of our operations,” Day commented. “How do we ensure that a water system will operate more efficiently?”

Embracing new

Water Convention will be overflowing with value

technology is one answer. Strategic thinking is another.

“Long-life assets and investments we make now still will be there in 50 years,” Day added. “What is our future in 50 years going to look like?”

Questions&Answers4


Water’s high-tech makeover

The first in a three-part question-and-answer series on how innovative technology, good governance, and sound finance are improving the water world of today

The need to leverage on technology to develop innovative and sustainable solutions to meet our water challenges has become more urgent than ever.

Technology has enabled us to produce drinking water from non-conventional sources. Membranes, for example, have made possible the re-cycling of used water and the desalination of seawater. These have multiplier effects on our available water resources and have expanded supplies in both urban and suburban contexts.

Velserbroek, Netherlands-based PWN Technologies, meanwhile, is spearheading the evolution of alternative water technology.

Jonathan Clement, PWN’s Director of Strategic Business Development and member of the Singapore International Water Week Water Convention programme committee, spoke to Daily Solutions about the urgency to solve water scarcity problems, and how new technology is paving the way in doing so.

DS: Why is the development of technology for alternative water resources so important?

Clement: It’s actually one of the most important issues facing the world right now because of water scarcity. Conventional sources such as rivers and lakes have been used to their full extent. Many places don’t even have conventional sources to begin with. So for the last 50 years, tech-nology development, until recently, focused on conventional sources of water which are easy to treat.

But in water-scarce regions, alternative water sources are necessary. One source is highly polluted ground water. Another example is rainwater harvesting. And another interesting one is urban run-off. In Singapore, a great deal of water runs off from the urban watershed. In the past, we never considered that you could take water from an urban area like

a city and use it for drinking water. But now we are actually practising the collection of urban runoff for water usage.

The other source is coal-bed methane. Companies extracting methane from the ground are pumping out huge amounts of water. In the United States, 7.5 percent of total natural gas production is coal-bed methane. The question is, is this water being used?

But whether you’re talking about urban water, coal-based water, or highly polluted groundwater, these sources can be treated to become drinking water.

DS: What percentage of alternative water makes up the collective pot of usable water?

Clement: It’s still very minor at this point. It’s difficult to put a percent-age on it. But it’s growing very fast.

DS: What is PWN Technologies doing at Singapore International Water Week to advance water technology?

Clement: On Wednesday morning, we’re signing a memorandum of understanding with Singapore’s PUB. This will involve cooperation between the two water companies as we look for common areas of collaboration, such as in research and technology development.

There are two areas we have initially identified. We are going to co-operate in the area of ceramic

membranes and also in the area of advanced oxidation, which is a robust treatment technology combining UV light and hydrogen peroxide. It has the ability to destroy microcontaminants and provide water disinfection. It’s simple but advanced.

We have one process called Ceramac. It’s a type of ceramic membrane system for the treatment of drinking water. What’s unique about ceramic membranes is that they can last indefinitely, which make it sustainable. Conventional membranes need replacing every five to seven years. There’s obviously some lifetime to ceramic membranes but it’s extremely long.

DS: Is this technology making it to the developing world?

Clement: We are also signing a memorandum of understanding with a Vietnamese company called Howaco. That is a company which provides water treatment technology that PWN has developed. They are using the Perfector series, which is a simple, robust technology used in areas like Vietnam which are sometimes very remote where you don’t have much technical operational power. It has simplified conventional drinking water treatment.

DS: The existence of Singapore International Water Week says something about the island nation’s interest in water issues, but is Singapore really leading by example?

Clement: What’s unique about Singapore is how they have balanced water sources. They have balanced conventional sources such as desalination from the sea with urban run-off. It’s extremely well done in Singapore, and I think Singapore has set a benchmark for doing this. Singapore’s situation is unique in being an island city-state. The sea is nearby. There’s enough rainfall for urban run-off. But other countries have resources and don’t always use them.

Water ministers discuss Asia-Pacific issues

by Shantini Harriet

Jointly organized by Singapore’s Ministry of the Environment and Water Resources and Singapore’s PUB, and in close cooperation with the Asia-Pacific Water Forum (APWF), Asia-Pacific Ministers and water leaders from 15 countries converged at the inaugural Asia-Pacific Water Ministers’ Forum (APWMF). They have all been sharing their views on the importance

of good governance and challenges in bringing sustainable water solutions to their respective countries. Themed ‘Water Security – Good Governance and Sustainable Solutions’, the forum links to the ‘Ministers for Water Security’ initiative presented by the APWF at the 5th World Water Forum 2009 held in Istanbul.

Chaired by Professor Tommy Koh, Ambassador-at-large with Singapore’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Chair of the Asia-Pacific Water

Forum Governing Council including a panel of distinguished speakers from the Maldives, Afghanistan, Cambodia, Nepal, Samoa, Sri Lanka, Thailand, India, Japan, China, Tuvalu and Singapore, the forum highlighted APWF’s achievements and key recommendations to address critical water issues in the region. It also allowed leaders to articulate the region’s water issues, policies and solutions.

In most parts of Asia, water problems do not entirely stem from a shortage of water resources. According to Mdm Erna Witoelar, Vice-Chair, APWF Governing Council, there are still 400 million people who have no safe drinking water. She added that there are “1.9 billion people who have no water or basic sanitation so there is a need to step up

efforts to meet challenges and the diagnosis is that this needs urgent attention.”

With good governance and improved water management practices, most of these problems can be resolved. Issues relating to this and other factors were also highlighted by His Excellency Mohamed Nasheed, President of the Republic of Maldives in his keynote address. He outlined his country’s current predicament of a shortage of clean drinking water despite being a country that is 99% surrounded by the ocean. He said, “Maldives is a good example of a country which is very vulnerable”.

He also stressed that climate change will be a bigger threat to water resources in the long run. “There is a need to protect water resources, but the bigger problem is climate change which intensifies the

water problem. And this will cause long-term threats.” He further said, “Going green is in the interests of both the economy and security. We have already shifted to low carbon emissions initiatives. The Maldives thrust is to build a zero carbon economy.” He also applauded Singapore’s efforts for water sustainability and shared his deep admiration for Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew for having the foresight to initiate Singapore’s water sustainability and water management efforts.

As an independent, non-profit, non-partisan, non-political network, the APWF hopes to make a significant contribution to sustainable water management by championing efforts aimed at boosting investments, building capacity and enhancing cooperation in the water sector at the regional level and beyond.

Deputy Prime Minister Teo Chee Hean unveiled a new publication at the Water Expo yesterday. “Water for All: Conserve, Value, Enjoy – Meeting our water needs for the next 50 years” underscores Singapore’s current water strategies and long-term plans to meet growing water demand.

In a symbolic hand-over, DPM Teo was presented with the new publication by Dr Yaacob Ibrahim, Minister for the Environment and Water Resources.

Produced by PUB, the national water agency, the publication reveals new water supply targets for 2060. More importantly, it is a call to Singaporeans and residents to understand

the future challenges so they can take greater ownership of the water resources.

Mr Khoo Teng Chye, Chief Executive of PUB, explained to Daily Solutions that “a blend of Singapore’s Four National Taps satisfied current water demand. With the Four National Taps strategy in place, Singapore is assured of a robust and diversified water supply.”

As the population and economy continue to grow, PUB expects the water demand to double in the next 50 years, with about 70% of the demand coming from the non-domestic sector, and domestic consumption making up the other 30%.

By 2060, Singapore plans to triple the current NEWater capacity so that

NEWater can meet 50% of its future water demand. There are also plans to ramp up desalination capacity by almost 10 times so that desalinated water will meet at least 30% of its water demand in the long term.

A key pillar of Singapore’s water sustainability, NEWater enables each drop of water to be used more than once. Since its launch in 2003, NEWater has been growing from strength to strength. Meeting international standards for drinking water and ultra clean, NEWater is supplied mainly to industries such as wafer fabrication, electronics and petrol chemical. Demand for NEWater has grown 15-fold from 4 million

gallons per day (mgd) for about 20 firms in 2003 to some 60 mgd for over 360 companies today.

Mr Khoo added that “it is timely for us to announce some of Singapore’s new water plans during the

Singapore International Water Week, a global platform for water solutions, as these plans present exciting opportunities to both the local and global water industry congregated in town this week.”

Water leaders pour into Singapore

by Khaw Chia Hui

Held for the third time in conjunction with Singapore International Water Week, the Young Water Talents Symposium 2010 contin-ues to provide information exchange and networking opportunities for graduate students and recent PhD graduates in water sci-ence and technology. At the same time, the industry has an opportunity to scout talent and recruit skilled manpower.

The symposium is organized by Nanyang Environment and Water Research Institute (NEWRI) which is one of the research centres in Nanyang Technological University

(NTU). It is also supported by the Water Week, PUB and International Water Association (IWA).

Professor Edmond Lo, Associate Professor and Chair in the School of Civil & Environmental Engineering, NTU said in his welcome address, that the symposium would allow budding researchers to present their work. It would also provide opportunities to meet with established researchers, industry leaders and their peers.

“I think now is a great time for young people to participate in this USD600 billion industry, especially when Singapore is one of the leaders in water technology innovation,” he added.

Dr Adrian Yeo, Research Fellow , Singapore Membrane Technology Centre (SMTC), NEWRI advised participants in his keynote address that new ideas often come from interacting with people in the industry as opposed to meditating alone under a tree.

He also shared his experiences working as a researcher, a businessman and as a volunteer in an NGO he founded. It gives an idea what routes one can take in the water science industry.

Presentations from IWA and IDA (International Desalination Association) highlighted the benefits of joining. And lastly, there were presentations of 14 papers by participants covering topics such as membrane technology, biotechnology, advanced treatment technologies, water research management and energy, climate and environment life cycle assessment.

A platform for budding researchers to interact

Symposium speakers addressing the audience

Delivering the keynote address at yesterday’s River Basin and Delta Management Workshop, Mr Tan Yong Soon, the Permanent Secretary for Singapore’s Ministry of Environment and Water Resources, pointed out that whilst we rely on rivers for various purposes, the health of river basins is increasingly at risk of deterioration. This is often the result of economic development, population growth and climate change. These challenges call for a greater need to manage water resources, including rivers and deltas, in an integrated manner so as to ensure their sustainability. Themed “Opportunities and Challenges in Response to Climate Change”, the workshop is the first of its kind at the Water Week, and comprises four sessions, namely integrated management of river basin and deltas; climate-proofing cities; water governance; and river restoration and rehabilitation.

Mitja Bricelj, President of International Commis-sion for the Protection of the Danube River (ICPDR), em-phasised that co-operation amongst countries is para-mount to the management of rivers which straddle countries, such as the River Danube.

The impact of climate change can potentially slow down economic and human development in China. This

presents risks to the efficien-cy and effectiveness of de-velopment investments, said Professor Xia Jun, President of the International Water Resources Association. Prof Xia outlined a screening framework which has been developed to assist with the assessment of climate change impact and inte-gration of adaptation into development projects.

In a special lecture, the Government Commissioner for the Delta Programme, Wim Kuijken, shared that given the uncertainties of climate change and its associated impacts, the Delta Programme has been conceived as an anticipatory suite of broad strategies and initiatives to make the Netherlands safe for the centuries ahead.

His Excellency Watt Botkosal, Deputy Secretary General of Cambodia’s Mekong Committee, highlighted that balancing the development of hydro-power and preservation of vital basin ecosystems for irrigation, drainage and navigation, is one of the principal challenges facing policy-makers, investors and stakeholders in the Mekong River Basin.

At the session on river restoration and rehabilita-tion, Ye Jianchun, Director General of China’s Taihu Basin Authority shared his experiences in adopting a multi-pronged approach to achieving good water qual-ity in the Taihu Basin.
