Dear Friends, As we look back on 2019, I would like to thank you for your support of the Singapore International Water Week (SIWW). It has been another fruitful year for us. Many of you joined us at SIWW Spotlight 2019 (6-7 June). Your strong participation made the event a success, sparking insightful conversations on how industrial water users could improve their water management, as captured in our Special Report. We look forward to continuing the discussions at SIWW 2020 (5-9 July). With fresh concepts to deliver greater value for our valued participants, SIWW 2020 looks set to be our most exciting edition ever. Our programmes and initiatives will revolve around emerging issues such as climate resilience, resource resilience and smart digital transformation of water utilities. Early bird registration for key events such as the Water Leaders’ Summit (by-invitation-only) and Water Convention will open in February 2020. The Water Convention Advanced Programme, featuring 49 technical sessions and over 400 oral and poster presentations, will be launched then. Look out also for the news on the laureate of the prestigious Lee Kuan Yew Water Prize 2020 in March 2020. As for the Water Expo @ City Solutions Singapore, I’m delighted to note that over 70% of the space has been committed, including 14 country pavilions and 3 thematic pavilions. To connect regional buyers and distributors with our exhibitors and establish new partnerships, we will be introducing a dedicated Hosted Overseas Visitor and Distributor Programme. Our sales representatives will be happy to share more about its benefits and opportunities. Given its popularity at SIWW 2018, we will also be bringing back NEWBrew - our uniquely Singaporean tipple made with NEWater - on a larger scale for SIWW 2020. Stay tuned for more details! From all of us at SIWW, best wishes for the New Year. See you at SIWW 2020!
With warmest regards, |

| Weathering climate change: How PUB, Singapore's National Water Agency does it |

|
In his National Day Rally speech in August 2019, Singapore Prime Minister, Mr Lee Hsien Loong said, “Climate change… is one of the gravest challenges facing humankind... Singapore is already feeling the impact [and] this will very likely worsen over the next few decades… So what can we do? Three things: understand climate change, mitigate climate change, and adapt to climate change.” Watch the video on Singapore’s SDC and SDT here.
