Singapores journey during the past 45 years is an outstanding example that, in spite of multiple hardships, pragmatic policies, clear visions, longterm planning, forwardlooking strategies and political will, as well as a relentless urge to improve, can result in strong foundations for sustainable development.This book describes the journey of Singapores development and the fundamental role that water has had in shaping it. What makes this case so unique is that the quest for selfsufficiency in terms of water availability in a fastchanging urban context has been crucial to the way development policies and agendas have been planned throughout the years. The authors analyse plans, policies, institutions, laws and regulations, water demand and water supply strategies, water quality and water conservation considerations, partnerships and importance of the media. They assess overall how all these issues have evolved in response to the dynamic needs of the citystate.The study of Singapore shows how a dynamic society can address development without losing its focus on the environment. In the citystate, environmental concerns in general, and water concerns in particular, have played a major role in its transformation from a third word to a first world country. How and why this transformation took place is the main focus of this authoritative book.
