(the four taps plaza)

it is no doubt in anyone's mindset that newater is dirty water, or for some extent, it is named after "sai zui" - dialect substitute for "shit water". hahas.. yes, it is true, literally but have you ever given a second thought about this amazing technology we have here as a means to supplement our water sources to a country like us where we are actually facing water scarcity? how about comparing ourselves to some rural parts of countries like india or china will we then appreciate the anatomy behind water reuse technology?
alright enough of my crap or reasonings about water topics. and pardon me for i've been greatly influenced by the entire water structure in singapore due to the exposure from PUB during my course of work. hahas..
i've uploaded a few pictures taken recently at newater, i'm gonna share with everyone here. :)
this newater fountain is at the entrance of the visitor centre. is it nice?
