SINGAPORE: Water levels at Johor's Linggiu Reservoir have dropped to a new historic low of 43 per cent, said Environment and Water Resources Minister Masagos Zulkifli, who visited the reservoir on Friday (Nov 13).

This is down from an earlier low of 55 per cent, which the previous Minister for the Environment and Water Resources Vivian Balakrishnan said was "unprecedented".

The PUB-run Linggiu Reservoir regulates the flow from Johor River, which is where Singapore extracts water for treatment and supply. In a Facebook post, Mr Masagos said that while Singapore can still draw 250 millions of gallons of water per day from the Johor River on most days, the low rainfall has affected both Singapore and Johor's water supply.*

"Water rationing exercises are already ongoing in many parts of Johor. If the dry weather continues, it will eventually also affect us, " he added.*

"If the water stock in Linggiu Reservoir does not recover, we may have to do more to conserve water, including restricting the use of water for non-critical activities such as washing of cars, operations of water fountains and watering of plants," Mr Masagos added.

He has asked PUB to give him another update on the water situation in December when the monsoon season sets in. In the meantime, he*urged all Singaporeans to do their part to conserve precious water.
Last month, Mr Masagos*said*that in light of drier conditions in the region, the Republic needs to better manage its water usage, despite having a sustainable water supply from its Four National Taps. He also said the total water demand in Singapore is expected to double by 2060.
