SINGAPORE - Singapore's fourth desalination plant, which can produce about 30 million gallons of fresh drinking water per day, has begun commercial operations, said national water agency PUB on Tuesday .
In dry weather, the plant draws water from the sea to produce desalinated water. When it rains, the plant will instead utilise rainwater collected in Marina Reservoir to produce potable water, which requires less energy and fewer steps in the treatment process compared to desalination. "The plant's completion is also eagerly awaited because it is such a special facility: a dual-purpose desalination plant in the middle of our city, integrated with parkland, accessible to the public, and a beautiful piece of architecture," he added.Built across the mouth of the 350m-wide Marina Channel, the Marina Barrage is a dam which created Marina Reservoir that also doubles up as a hot spot for recreational activities such as picnics and kite-flying.
Last October, the Marina East plant became the first industrial plant in Singapore to be given PUB's ABC Waters Certification award last October for its design features.
