Greetings from PUB, Singapore’s National Water Agency! We are gearing up for Singapore World Water Day (SWWD) in March 2024 and would like to invite you to join us to support the water cause.
SWWD and Importance of Water Sustainability
The United Nations has designated 22 March as World Water Day to celebrate and raise awareness of the importance of water. In Singapore, PUB marks the special occasion with SWWD – a nationwide community-driven initiative with strong focus on ground engagement. Each year, PUB partners organisations, schools, and community groups to spread water conservation messages through mass events, ground-up initiatives, and island-wide roadshows.
| Water-Themed Events |
|
| Water Wednesdays | Dedicate Wednesdays in March to promote sustained learning and conversations about water sustainability, e.g.:
|
| Broadcast SWWD and Water Conservation Messages |
|
| SWWD Mass Event |
|
| Share Your Sustainability Story |
|
Even though Singapore has built a robust, diversified, and sustainable water supply from four water sources known as the Four National Taps – Water from Local Catchment , Imported Water, high-grade reclaimed water known as NEWater and Desalinated Water, water remains a precious and scarce resource that we must not take for granted. By adopting water-saving habits and using only what we need, we can play a part to ensure water sustainability and contribute to climate action by reducing our carbon footprint. Your involvement is key in encouraging communities to play a part towards water sustainability!
Key Initiatives of SWWD 2024
Last March, over 400 partners joined us in SWWD through diverse activities in a meaningful way.
