Annex B Singapore World Water Day (Swwd) 2021 Pub Accurate as at 5 Mar 2021 ANNEX B SINGAPORE WORLD WATER DAY (SWWD) 2021 PUB WATER CAMPAIGN 2021 INFO SHEET About Internationally, World Water Day is held annually on 22 March, a day designated Singapore by the United Nations to celebrate the importance of water. World Water Singapore World Water Day (SWWD) started in 2008 and has grown to be Day celebrated across the island throughout the month of March as a platform to encourage initiatives by the community for the community to celebrate water, appreciate water and raise awareness on water conservation. PUB, Singapore’s National Water Agency has been partnering organisations, schools, and community groups to spread water conservation messages for SWWD. PUB’s annual water conservation campaign also kicks off in the same month. About PUB The PUB Water Campaign 2021 theme is anchored on climate change, highlighting Water PUB’s efforts in addressing climate change effects in four areas - to enhance flood Campaign resilience, safeguard water sustainability, reduce carbon footprint (floating solar panels) and develop coastal defences to protect our homes. 2021 Theme Climate Change and water security TVC The TV Commercial aims to bring the campaign’s key messages to life by visualising the direct effects of climate changes and showcasing PUB’s works in mitigating these effects. The Commercial ends on a reflective note to nudge viewers to think about taking action and contribute to the fight against climate change. Youtube: https://youtu.be/Q_FdPUoFQKY Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=477786503252120 Key Visuals The Climate is Changing There are four key visuals produced, each to illustrate the messages – flood resilience, coastal protection, water security and the need to reduce carbon footprint – and encourage the public to be aware and take action. 1 Accurate as at 5 Mar 2021 Flood resilience Are you prepared for extreme rain and flooding? Climate change will bring more frequent bouts of intense rainfall, and the occasional flash flood. The 318.6mm of rain that fell on the first day of this year was significantly more than the 238.3mm historical average for the entire month of January, and within the top 1% of maximum daily rainfall records for the past 39 years. To bolster Singapore’s flood resilience, PUB continues to improve and expand our drainage infrastructure. But you, too, have an important role to play. First and foremost, stay away from flood-affected areas. If you are caught in a flash flood, move to higher ground and stay there until water levels subside. If you live in a low-lying area, be equipped with flood barriers and flood bags, and be ready to deploy them once you receive a flood alert. Together, we can become more prepared and ready for what the future will bring. The climate is changing, and so must we. Coastal Protection Are you prepared for rising sea levels? Because more and more greenhouse gases accumulate and get trapped in the atmosphere, our planet warms. As a result, polar ice caps melt, glaciers shrink and eventually disappear, and the oceans rise. Much of Singapore, surrounded by the sea and pancake-flat, stands no more than 5m above mean sea level. If we ignore climate change and the rising seas, our island country will be inundated and destroyed. PUB, which is also Singapore’s coastal protection agency, is working hard to protect our coastline, and the people and infrastructure within, from sea- 2 Accurate as at 5 Mar 2021 level rise. Sea barriers, empoldering and biophilic design are among the range of solutions that can be used to hold back the ever-rising sea. The climate is changing, and so must we. Water Security Are you prepared for water shortages? 2019 was the warmest year on record, for Singapore and for the rest of the world. It was also one of the driest years on record. The 1,367.5mm of rain that fell in the whole of 2019 is 37% below the long-term average, making it the third driest year since records started in 1869. Prolonged dry spells and less rainfall significantly stress the water supply. To make our water supply more resilient to the vagaries of weather, which can only become more erratic with climate change, PUB has added recycled water (NEWater) and desalinated seawater to Singapore’s diversified sources of water. You, too, can play a part to protect Singapore’s water security. By using only what you need and conscientiously practising water-saving habits, you help to make our system more sustainable for everyone. Remember, a litre of water that is not used, is a litre not produced. The consequent savings in energy, chemicals, labour and material also go towards reducing our collective carbon footprint. We do the Earth a favour by making every drop count. The climate is changing, and so must we. 3 Accurate as at 5 Mar 2021 The Climate is Changing Are you prepared to go green? Industrial emissions and the unrestrained burning of fossil fuels have driven the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere to unprecedented levels. Because greenhouse gases trap heat, its rapid accumulation can only lead to an inexorable rise in air and sea temperatures, as the world is now witnessing, and then to wholesale changes in the Earth’s climate. Storms become more violent, hurricanes and typhoons increase in power, and flooding gets more common. The opposite, droughts and heatwaves, also become more ordinary. And year- on-year record temperatures shall no longer be unusual. Every one of us must reduce our carbon footprint. PUB is investing in green technology for our water treatment plants. At Tengeh Reservoir, we are constructing one of the world’s largest floating solar farms, which can generate enough energy to power Singapore’s waterworks, making them cleaner and greener. You, too, have a part to play in fighting climate change. By using only what you need and conscientiously practising water-saving habits, you help to protect the environment. Remember, a litre of water that is not used, is a litre not produced. The consequent savings in energy, chemicals, labour and material also go towards reducing our collective carbon footprint. We do the Earth a favour by making every drop count. The climate is changing, and so must we. Hashtags/ #GoBlue4SG, #MakeEveryDropCountSG Website #MakeEveryDropCountSG is the official hashtag for the water conservation campaign including SWWD. The campaign microsite is – MakeEveryDropCount.sg 4 Accurate as at 5 Mar 2021 Number of 426 Community Partners (to date) Partners Partner-led 405 Partner Events & Activities (to date) Events & With large-scale ground events such as our SWWD Opening Ceremony and Activities roadshows pushed back, the community and businesses are still doing their part to promote our water messages through smaller-scale activities and leveraging more on digital platforms for outreach and engagement. Please refer to Annex 1 for the list of notable events and activities and their details. Water 67 Schools (to date) Wednesdays Since 2016, schools have been organising Water Rationing Exercises (WREs) during the month of March to mark SWWD. In place of WREs this year, a new programme - Water Wednesday is introduced, whereby schools will dedicate every Wednesday in March to conduct water-centric activities and conversations about water sustainability with their students. Please refer to Annex 2 for the list of participating educational institutions for Water Wednesdays GoBlue4SG The inaugural #GoBlue4SG movement started in 2019 to rally local community Initiatives partners and businesses to ‘go blue’ in their own ways to show their appreciation for water in March. Please refer to Annex 3 for the list of partner-led initiatives to support the #GoBlue4SG movement. City Turns The #GoBlue4SG movement will culminate with the signature “City Turns Blue” Blue event on 22 March, to commemorate World Water Day, where iconic buildings and landmarks around Singapore light up in blue to symbolise their commitment towards water sustainability. In order to allow more people to witness and capture shots of the various light-ups, the event will commence earlier during the weekend (20 to 21 March) leading up to World Water Day. The community is encouraged to share their photos online with the hashtags - #GoBlue4SG and #MakeEveryDropCount.
