NEWater is a high-grade reclaimed water produced in Singapore through advanced filtration and purification processes. It involves (1) waste water treatment to remove solids and organic matter, (2) microfiltration to remove bacteria and suspended particles through membrane filtration, (3) reverse osmosis to remove dissolved chemicals, salts, and other impurities through a semi-permeable membrane, and (4) ultraviolet disinfection to inactivate any remaining microorganisms. NEWater meets World Health Organization standards for drinking water and is part of Singapore's strategy to ensure a sustainable water supply.
