The work highlights the connection between the new water purification technology that provides clean and safe water and the happiness of people in Singapore. Singapore requires much more clean water than its natural environment can provide. In order to solve this problem, people in Singapore developed a new water purification technology called “New Water” that recycles used water. The author of the scenario also suggests that thanks to this new kind of technology we can better preserve our environment for future generations.

Motivation behind this scenario

In 1965, Singapore separated itself from Malaysia and became an independent state. However, because of limited water resources, Singapore is still dependent on water supplied by Malaysia.(1) In order to minimize the dependence on another country, Singapore developed and implemented new water purification technology called New Water that recycles used water, and provides water so clean that it can be drunk directly from the tap. In 2016, thanks to New Water, the Singapore covers about 30 percent of its needs of clean water.(2)

Singapore is a country with very limited water resources, and that is why recycled water is being used as a supplement. But apart from Singapore, there are lots of people across the world that even now have limited access to clean water. The purpose of this work is to make all of us think and act so that we can provide clean water to the next generation. The highlight of this work is definitely the cute droplet and its adventures.
