Dear MEL Topic Readers,
NeWater: Turning urine into beer in Singapore
Though it is located in a tropical region, Singapore has very little water resources for its 5.8 million residents and businesses. Besides the import of water from Malaysia, the city state has built a robust, diversified, and sustainable water supply from the local catchment, desalinated water, and high-grade reclaimed water known as NEWater. It is a purified liquid made of sewage, which has been drunk for nearly two decades. Now, a new use of NEWater is introduced. Beer. The tropical blond ale is one of Singapore’s greenest beers. It is made up of imported barley and yeast, as well as domestically produced NEWater. How does it taste?
As many places in the world are going to face severer droughts because of climate change, more liquid will need to be recycled and reproduced for the increasing population.
Enjoy watching the video to learn why and how a new beer is produced with recycled water.
