Personal Reflection (NEWater visit)

1. The 3 takeaways are that water in Singapore is very important, NEWater is not for quenching our thirst but mostly for commercial uses and that if one day for some reason there is a dry spell for like 4 to 5 months we can depend on NEWater to keep Singapore’s taps flowing with water.

2. The 2 concepts are that NEWater actually filters out waste water and not rain water and that NEWater has added 1 extra filtration technique so that the people in Singapore believe that NEWater is completely safe.

3. That the membrane used is reverse osmosis has pores and which are just big enough to allow the water molecules to pass through.

4. We can firstly not waste water and use only what we need, secondly we try not litter in Singapore’s water ways and lastly not pollute the water ways.

The trolly catches the wind, it cannot make sharp turns and it is not very safe for the children sitting in the basket. The rules they follow are: Stay focused on the topic and Encourage wild ideas. The people working there have the freedom to make their on office space as they wish and they do not sit behind the computer to do research. We can go around Singapore to find hat we need and we can decorate our learning space the way we want it.
