Digitalising Water - Sharing Singapore's Experience
The report outlines PUB’s vision and provides examples of some of its digital initiatives. Here, digital becomes an integral vector in an integrated water management approach.
Active, Beautiful, Clean Waters: Design Guidelines
Under the Active, Beautiful, Clean Waters (ABC Waters) Programme, an initiative by PUB, Singapore’s National Water Agency, the country has embarked on a journey to a City of Gardens and Water. Since its inception in 2006, the ABC Waters Programme has led the way to transform how Singapore manages surface water. From functional drains to well designed waterways that serve multiple purposes, from traditional stormwater management to sustainable stormwater management that detains and treats runoff at source.
Innovation in Water Singapore
Some of PUB's R&D projects are conducted in-house while others are test-bedding projects held in our facilities for performance check. PUB has collaborated on an array of projects in Intelligent Watershed Management, Water Treatment, Wastewater Treatment, Water Quality and Security, Network Management and Membrane Technology.
Human-Centered Design for Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (HCD for WASH)
In WASH, HCD has been used to design new technologies, service delivery models, behavior change strategies, marketing materials and even courses and training materials. HCD promotes deep engagement with users to nurture innovative, sustainable and scalable solutions. The HCDforWASH platform provides tools and resources for all stages of HCD project development: discovery, creation, delivery.
JAXA Realtime Rainfall Watch
JAXA Realtime Rainfall Watch shows global precipitation map called "Global Satellite Mapping of Precipitation" (GSMaP). Users can easily monitor the spatial extent of rainfall in real-time including heavy rainfall and typhoons/cyclones.
JAXA Climate Rainfall Watch
JAXA Climate Rainfall Watch shows global precipitation map called "Global Satellite Mapping of Precipitation (GSMaP)" for time scales from daily to monthly. It provides extreme heavy rainfall and drought indices using over-20-years GSMaP statistics. Users can easily monitor the indices as well as mean values of global precipitation on a map.
