Singapore World Water Day 2023
|
|
|
Dear Members
On March 22, as part of Singapore’s World Water Day activities, the IES Secretariat turned up in blue to remind ourselves and each other to use water wisely. Posters on water facts and tips on saving water have been placed in our washrooms and pantry to raise awareness amongst ourselves, as well as our visitors.
As part of our Eco-Office and IES Green Plan commitments, we are working towards reducing our average monthly water consumption by at least 2 per cent by 2024 (based on 2019 figures).
22 March is World Water Day. Observed since 1993, World Water Day highlights the importance of fresh water and sustainable management of water resources. For Singapore, a small island nation, water is a critical strategic resource and every effort has been made by PUB and its partners to protect our water security over the past 60 years.
Everyone has a part to play in ensuring sustainable use and management of our water resources! This month, there are more than 200 activities and deals nationwide as part of Singapore World Water Day!
Check them out here.
