Deputy Prime Minister Gan Kim Yong revealed that close to $100m will be pumped into researching water solutions at the municipal and industrial levels, at the opening of Singapore International Water Week.
He emphasised that, as climate change and water-intensive industries bring water problems for the nation as well as a rise in sea levels, effective planning is required.
Additionally, Minister for Sustainability and the Environment Grace Fu said that recycled and desalinated water is critical to ensuring water resilience and avoiding issues caused by relying on imported water.
