5.Study Figure 3 which shows two students discussing about water
pricing in Singapore as a way to manage our water resources.
Water pricing will make sure that Singaporeans will be careful
about how much water they use. If we are not mindful, our water
bills may increase by a lot. This will make all Singaporeans
appreciate the value of clean water.
Su Ling
The government must be careful with water pricing. Do you know
that industries that make our products use a lot of water? This
means our products will become more expensive.In addition, there
are some Singaporeans who have high incomes or are richer than
others. They might still continue to use water anyway they
want.
