Personal Reflection (NEwater visit)

1. What are the 3 key takeaways from today’s visit?
The two processes of purifying the waste water, the four national taps and the importance of NEWater in Singapore.

2. Name 2 concepts that you have learnt today during the visit.
Water conservation is very important. NEWater is not contaminated water, but purified drinkable water, although there is no minerals in it.

3. What is the 1 interesting thing that you have learnt today?
Bacteria and viruses are much larger than water molecules. I did not know that bacteria could be so big compared to water molecules.

4. What are the things that you can do to help with water conservation in Singapore?
I could translate the message to my family and friends about conserving water. For myself, I would try not to spend too much water, like taking long showers and leaving the shower on when I am bathing and to use just the amount of water I need, instead of overusing it.

Simple things as the topic organic food can be so interesting.
