We arrived at our classroom in Raffles Girs Primary School.We were getting ready foe the trip to new water visitor's centre.After our teabreak, we went to NeWater centre stright away.The bus ride took about 15 to 20min. When we reached to newater centre, there was many other visitors.There was a group of childern from Malaysia. There were about 30 to 40 of them.They are about 6 to 12 years old.After awhlie our tour guide came out.He led us into a theater,it was quite small but enough to fit all of us.It was a 6 minutes movie about water.Nothing special.Our tour guide told us about how Singapore gets it's water from.Basically, there are 4 types of ways to get water.The 1st was is collecting rain water using reseviors. There are about 12 or is it 11 reseviors in Singapore right now.

Singapore will have 14 resevoirs by 2012.Okay, the 2nd way is using NeWater.You will learn about this later.And the 3rd way is by collecting sea water and resusing it.The LAST way is by the WATER from Malaysia.So AFTER THAT LAME lesson, we went to learn more about NeWater.The first step is utltraflitration.THe virus and bactiria will not be able to go through the filter.BUt some of em may BE able to go through.The second stage is called Reverse Osmisis.It is half a million times smaller then a lengh of your hair.BEctira , viruses ,salt and molecus MOST SIGHTLY WILL NOt BE able to pass through it!And The last stage is called water-conditioning.It will zap any of the bactiria that passes through it.The special machine is changed every 5 years.
