Water for All The Challenge
Minister Mentor Lee They told me, years ago, it
was not a fitting move because there was
industrial pollution in the water. Membrane
technology will one day be cheaper than
desalination. So that's another 25 per cent which
we can still include in our reservoir catchment."
