Singapore is now going through a long dry spell. There is not enough rain. The punggol and Serrangoon reservoir scheme, where 2 of the rivers are now closed off is completed, increasing the catchment areas in Singapore to 1/2 the land area. However, it depends on when the rain will fall.
What's funny is that other places like Australia and Europe are experiencing floods and heavy rainfalls. Earthquakes in places like Chile,turkey, China and many others. Philippines declaring a state of emergency due to droughts causing their hydoelectric dams to be at low levels cutting off electricity. All this is due to the El nino effect.....
Well, I can only say that our nature is a dynamic systems of cause and effects and that our water sources are unevenly distributed around the world. Our water management have to take this principle into account and adapt accordingly, just like nature does
