NEWater Personal Recount

After visiting the NEWater plant today, I learnt that NEWater is mainly for industrial use, is purified through three stages and about the four 'taps'. NEWater is used mainly for industrial purposes as the NEWater is extremely clean and by doing this, there is less drinking water that is used for industrial needs. I learnt that of the three stages, only the first two are more important but the last one is to ensure Singaporeans that the NEWater is safe to drink. I learnt a few concepts today, two of them are that water molecules are smaller than viruses, bacteria and minerals and the second one is that strong ultraviolet rays can kill living things. One interesting thing that I learnt from the NEWater visit today is how the water is suck up the pipes in the first stage. The pumps have to reverse sometimes. I could be a NEWater ambassador to tell others to use less water and convince them that NEWater is safe. I could tell people to use 140 liters of water a day to reduce water consumption in Singapore.
