Increasing of water prices and further increasing of water supply deals with water conservation and increases water supply.

Increasing of water prices :

Implying the water conservation tax is to reduce wastage of water in the household. This is means to conserve water in the household. Singapore uses 2-tier water rates and the water conservation tax to encourage the conservation among the household. Money in the form of water conservation tax is paid to the government when more water is used in the household. This is how the water conservation tax works.








Further increasing of water supply :
Measures are taken to increase the water supply in Singapore. Measures done to water catchment areas are one of the many ways to further increase water supply. As i mentioned below, water catchment areas collect rain water to be treated and made into drinking water. To further increase water supply, expanding water catchment areas is one way. Expansion is done by buliding more reservoirs. Extension of the catchment area increases the amount of water able to be collected, hence, more water is collected to be treated into drinking water. Newater ( Water reclaimation ) and desalination of water, as i stated below, is one technological innovation used to increase Singapore's water supply.
