Radical Innovations To Singapore's Water Problem | Tomorrow City | Part 3/3
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 тра 2024
- As a small island with a growing population and limited natural water resources, Singapore is in the midst of innovating new solutions to manage its water supply. Already, two-thirds of the city’s land mass is dedicated to water catchment zones to secure freshwater resources but it’s still insufficient. So inland research teams are relying on Nobel Prize knowledge to invent a high-tech filtration system that makes state-of-the-art water processing more energy-efficient than it is currently.
But it’s not just the water supply inland that requires new innovations. Singapore requires more land with every passing day and so planners have a bold vision for the Tuas megaport, an ambitious construction project that will build the biggest container port in the world by 2040. A port that is AI-powered and remote-controlled, from the very minute the container ships docks at the berth.

I have enormous respect for Singapore. Imagine how Singapore has evolved since WWII and it's independence, amazing. You are and must be proud of yourselves. Greetings from the Netherlands ❤️
The Netherlands and Singapore have a lot in common regarding water. Small countries whose skills in these areas are in great demand. The Netherlands may focus a little more in dyke control but you both use very advanced technology to achieve your aims.
can wait for kra canal and sea water rising to rise, and it's time to say good bye singapore
if i not to see it, my children, grandchildren and great great great grandchildren will see it, not just singapore, malaysia, indonesia, vietnam and peninsular thailand will be underwater too@@n2ni

Thank you. Singapore owes much to a Dutch economist who advised n guided Singapore on her economy build-up after independence.
Absolutely love Singapore, the most amazing place in the world, have been visiting since the early 80s, hope to go again when this horrible crap in the world abates. So much love from Darwin Australia...Stay safe my friends....
Thank you Australian friend🙏 with much appreciation for your kind concern over Singapore🤗 My good wishes to you, in friendship and goodwill with us too, Blessings 🙏🙏🙏
Fully impressed by the innovations achieved by the people of Singapore. The leval of security is utmost in such high tech development to ensute no sabotage. May Singapore continue to progress to benefit its surroundung Asean neighbourhood.
I haven't had the opportunity to visit Singapore, but I have so much respect for the island nation. Its amazing how this country re-invented itself in our lifetime. Always pushing the envelope of technology or innovation in general. Multiple projects going on at the same time yet still looking at least 40 to 50 years in the future and improving their citizens quality of life. In the US, more beauracracy and little to no progress. There are droughts throughout the US yet no solutions unless you want to get involved in a war. We always have trillions for that.
Yup always Aholes who need killin
You are welcome ! 🇸🇬🇸🇬🇸🇬
Singapur is not actually an island. And Singapur is extremely small which means they dont need a lot of infrastructure to build and maintain. Plus, their strategic location makes everything much easier. But I agree. They doing well. I wouldn‘t like to live there nonetheless. I didnt like the climate (very humid), it‘s crowded (even more than other asian capitals) and their laws suck. Chewing gum or smoking on the wrong place and they lock you up. Plus, it‘s freaking cold in their malls.

I was in Singapore in 1993, and found it great place to visit. People are really friendly, and easy to talk to. I think I will go, and see the new projects, with my own eyes. Espescially the new solarcell plant, would be interresting to follow. 🇩🇰🙋🏻♂️🌏👍🏻
One of my friends visited the country roughly 4 years ago and said the same thing.
I've been there five times. Last time was in 2018. My wife lived there for 10 years.
1993 to 2021, it's at least 28 years. That's long enough for all the 'friendly' people to disappear. Only to be replaced by others, due to SG got TFR of around ~1.0, and constant population growth.
Heard that the goal is 60+mil?
@@ASD-qu7om You heard wrong. 60 million people -- the whole island will sink.
I was there in 1990. Stunningly beautiful city.
Sentosa Island and the museum there is a beautiful tribute to those who gave their lives in 1942.
Orchard Road, lined with orchids is so beautiful.
Too many wonderful things to mention them all. Well worth a visit.
The construction and transportation of these massive 136 numbers of 10-storey high caissons are just as marvelous as MBS. Thank you CNA Insider for producing such quality documentary.
Wow every countries look for Singapore ,for renewable , financial stability,modern city, innovative things 🥰🥰🥰
True
When I graduated from Engineering School, I wanted to build "Big". I have worked on some massive projects... but not like this. Epic project, phenomenal engineers, best craft people on the planet. Go Singapore!

Singapore rocks...
It seems East Asia and Singapore are the only regions moving forward with these bold infrastructures. Just like Lee Kuan Yew has said, if you want your country to prosper, you have make yourself relevant.
I think Singapore start realized Indonesian start waking up to upgrade industries and infrastructures, If Singapore late the investor will flee
The port has been planned more than 10years ago. SG is perhaps the only country that plans 20 to 30years ahead. Just like our MBS area. That was like 20years in the making (when the region is still recovering from 1997 asian financial crisis).
E.g. food security - investments in urban farming. To be able to provide 30% of our own needs by 2050.
Rising sea level/ climate change. 100B sgd has been budgeted to be spent over 100years. Where to get the financing etc.
All this is only possible with a stable corruption free govt that is consistent in its vision, planning and execution, a relatively strong military and strong ties with the major powers and neighbours.
That why singapore national debt levels among the highest in Asia. No. 1 highest debt in Asean.
@@Didie6161have to put things in contexts. SG's debt is largely internal debt, not external debt. We dun owe other countries or IMF money. Debts are also taken to invest in projects that pays for itself( not giving out free money to spent). Its the same concept as investment in properties for capital gain and rental yield instead of taking credit to spent on luxury car. One is good debt that would pay for itself in the long run, the other is just wasting money.
And more imptly, our 2 sovereign funds have a combined 1 trillion worth. So we r making our money work harder and take lower interests debt to finance our projects.
@@Didie6161 At least these debts are put into good use and give back to society. If you use debt to finance a war and build missiles now that is foolish. Does missiles, guns and jets help you to go to your office faster?
Amazing and exciting research and planning, I was a lab technician doing exhaust gas analysis , but quit after a while, so I sense the excitement and challenges of lab environments
That was brilliant, thank you. Pity more countries don't talk to the Singapore people. They are innovative and could teach others
Agree. I learn more and more about Singapore. I also like how they are designing and decorating their apartments with a soft Asian flare. American and Canadian houses and condos are totally unaware of how South Asians are creating fabulous building materials, furnishings, etc.
I love the documentary and the detail with creating the caissons, the fresh water issues, solutions through desalination, and the addition of a new port and land at the same time. The only thing that wasn’t covered in this documentary (and I was waiting for it to show up) was how the caissons sit on the seafloor?
In other words, the Seafloor it’s not flat bed rock. What type of preparation did they do to the seafloor in order for the caissons to be horizontally even with the waterline on top? You can’t just take a caisson that’s 30 m high and sink it into the ocean floor where it matches with the water level on top without any detail preparation on the bottom. If you did that, they would all be at different Levels on top because the seafloor is not perfectly flat. To me, that would be one of the most important parts of the whole building process.
My question is.. isn't just evaporating water easier and less energy consuming that pressurizing it and making those expensive specialty membranes?
I was wondering the same thing. Surely there are preparations done and I wish they covered that here. My guess is they dredged the whole area to the same depth as the natural depth along our coastline isn't that deep.
@@kevinharmon8227 It's more energy consumimg but you could say it's easier
The only thing I can tell you guys, the Palm Islands in UAE, how was made you can watch it.

Congratulations Singaporians for their great achievement through great dedication innovations.
yup. hooray!
It's so exciting to know that places can be productive and use their resources wisely California should follow Singapore's example and many of our problems could quickly be resolved.
with this prices for work in the USofA? hahaha i dont belive so. and another thing is every 5min someone will shout out UNION UNION UNION 🤣🤣
You are suggesting that America has a functional government. Almost laughable at this point.
@@chriswegman738 same as in Germany, our governments are completely retarded. Politicians are behaving like monarchs 300 years ago and give a sh1t about the people
California is bankrupt , Singapore is not ! That's the difference
Hahaha! One can just imagine the caissons that would produced by such a "woke" hell where it is every man/thing for himself/itself.
As a Singaporean myself at its merdeka stage, I could fully understand why our government continuously innovate business continuity. I sincerely hope our upcoming Gen Y or Gen Z absorbs the significance of what our little dot would be like after watching this wonderful series and episodes features by CNA insider teams. Thank you CNA insider 👏👍👏💖
Make a deal with China and expand there. They've got plenty of land.
I'm glad you're proud of the country you are living in. And I've just learned what your little red dot refers to. Very cute and yet powerful. I've been listening to what Lee Kuan Yew had to say over his life time. I can see his concern about young Singaporeans becoming soft as they've never had to struggle or work hard. It's the same here in North America. It doesn't mean a person has to work endless hours, but it does mean you need to learn to think outside of the box, pay attention to what is going on around you, care about your neighbourhood and city, look at what other countries are doing well and not well and why. It's interesting how places like Iceland with supposedly few resources, with Switzerland being a small multi lingual country with no access to the sea, etc. etc. became rich and highly skilled with what it had to work with. I realize Japan has been struggling the past couple of decades, but even it is a modern miracle and Japanse work very hard and keep their very complex traditional skills and crafts alive.
Maybe you should pray and hope these generations do not sway towards woke-ism, seems to be gathering ...
What a great and creative development idea!!!
My brother was the first batch of national service in Singapore and was trained under the Israeli. Few years later it was my turn to join the army and spend few months in Taiwan. Tough but army turn a boy to a man. Statute to Singapore.
It feels so good to watch these documentaries in the middle of the night.
Really well comprised production. Bravo!
I lived in Singapore from 1972-74 I was in the RNZAF they were reclaiming land back in those days as once it was controlled by the English Armed Forces, there were more military bases per square mile than any other country in the world there were 3 or 4 airforce bases, not small ones either.
I must say it was a great place to live,, the people were very friendly and good workers.
I have checked on google earth and it is totally changed since we were there and I am sure what they are building now will work like clockwork as they always try for perfection I wish them well
you from usaf , you have dep observation abiout the intrstng projct.
Yet your grammar and punctuation are that of a Singaporean English speaker. Are you guys being paid to post pro government posts? You don't write like a native British speaker.
I'm glad you enjoyed it. As you know better than me Singapore in the 1970's would be unrecognizable to the Singapore of today. I plan to be there next February and I can hardly wait. I gather a lot has changed even in the past 10-15 years. I fully support what Singapore is doing and I get tired of hearing people outside of Singapore complain about the bad laws like chewing gum, etc. Yes Singapore has been lead by leaders who were / are very serious about improving the place and I agree with Lee Kuan Yew that Singapore wouldn't have survived without this tough love approach. As one foreigner who has lived there 17 years has said, just follow the laws about not littering and not taking drugs, then it's no different than living in other western countries. Singapore doesn't have bombs going off, Islamic and other terrorists, Woke people wanting to tear down historic monuments, 15 year old girls going through sex change operations with out their parents approval, etc. Sounds good to me! Too bad it's so hot and humid.
Wow amazing planning. Best wishes for future Singapore

Other countries in this region such as Thailand, Cambodia and etc have continued their rule by despotic militarys, poor education standards and failed and corrupt governments. It sure shows which system works!
Agreed
Southern hemisphere?
You don't know enough about geopolitics for this. Heck, you don't even know geography! 😂
Yup. Singapore was part of Malaysia. As much as Malaysia has progressed, it's nothing like Singapore. Singapore is surrounded by unstable countries and knows it. Their leadership never takes their eyes off the ball re what is going on in the rest of the world, what to adapt and not adapt, who to ask for business expertise from and who not to, etc. They get a very high score from me. I realize people say well a city/state is easier to accomplish all of this rather than a large country. There may be some truth to it, but as I watch Canada implode from poor leadership and letting the inmates run the asylum, the success of Singapore comes down to their leadership and enough Chinese, East Indians who tend to work very hard whever they live.
We set a good example for people to learn.😊
keep up the great work
what I realize is that you can hear almost every accent you can find in Asia in just this video alone interesting!
Chinese english
Large Indian population, also
I'm sure the engineers who designed the Tuas megaport structures has taken into account the effects of climate change and the possible sea level rise by the year 2100 or earlier. The new port has to be future proofed up to 100 years and beyond. So it would make sense if the caissons are designed to float and its height can be adjusted by pumping out the ballast water as required when sea levels rise.
Caissons full of rocks. They anchor the edges of the reclaimed land area.
Oops.
the level will not rise too much, just dont watch propaganda
for decades there been banging on about global warming and sea level rise bull, nothings change much!! scam to tax us to death

Absolutely Phenomenal Insight Of Singapore’s Infrastructures!👍🙂
40:50 Calibration or testing of various sensors need to regular done (e.g. a few times daily or hourly) to ensure various sensors for automated heavy movement are working properly to facilitate heavy automated movements. I.e. heavy automated movements will be stopped and alarm triggered the moment a sensor issue is detected.
I was born in Singapore and lived there as a child till 1970 when I had to migrate to India as my father had lost his job after the British withdrew their bases from South East Asia. I recall incidents of severe shortage of water leading to rationing. We had to resort to collecting rain water in drums for bathing and washing clothes! A half century history of an impoverished island, full of swamps and jungle, slums and criminals, growing into a metropolis run by desalinated sea water!
Past lifestyle can be amazing.
Singapore is the best country with 10 or more accent for english 😂
I miss traveling there.
Hope we can freely travel without mask soon.

Amazing. Thank you.
oh my goddd the tuas megaport is amazing
i definitely want to live in singapore one day, what a beautiful country.
With Singapore being on the coast, are they accounting for sea level rise? I'm guessing yes, but the pictures didn't really seem like there much elevation over current sea levels.
And modern engineering is amazing...
Singapore Tomorrow City is a series of very details video document the things happening in SG Singapore💯💯💯
Singapore is a country with so little that has done so much with it, and become THE leader in the region.
Does the Hydrodynamic scour the caisson's create accelerate the eroson of adjacent, coastal areas as it impacts on the littoral drift process? Also is there an EIA for the huge increase in the use of so much Silane? Great technical excercise but you maybe storing up a food chain disaster for the future.
One great move of Singapore is to provide parks and greeneries despite the limitation of land or spaces to build...
Absolutely right. When I was in Singapore I loved doing Mountain biking in Bukit Timah nature reserve!

OOPS this was meant for the floating solar farm installation. A lot of fish tend to congregate under or around shady areas, such as oil platforms and docks, so I can imagine these floating platforms will attract many fish especially if there are columns going down into the water to give hiding spots. With what China is doing to Hong Kong I can see Singapore taking over as the shipping center of East Asia. Now they are putting in a lot of wharf space on the water itself.
When looking at megaprojects like this don't forget about the large quantities of sand that is required and negative effects on places like rivers they mine construction sand from. Majority of that sand once was material another countries water ways were made of...
im so glad the job i want in the future is soon to be automated really makes you think about your life dreams
The No. 1 thing that contributes to the success of SG is the small population it has and the high number of educated people that actually go to work.
Engineering on paper is different than for the ones on the field. Cussing at the engineers sitting at their desk is a daily routine for us working on the field. Then again, it's a mutual relationship.

I have two questions:
1. When you sink the caissons do they set on the bottom or do they float? If they float and it looks like they do, what is to keep them from shifting in bad weather?
2. In your water system you mentioned that you could switch from sea water to fresh water and back again. I was wondering if you have ever considered prefiltering your sea water? In the area I lived in when I was young we had Salty water and we developed a system of running the Salty water through a system of sealed glass chambers and would let it sit so the sun would heat it up. As the water would heat up it would condensate on the glass above and drip to a channel that would carry it to our water tank for drinking. In one day we would make more than we could drink in a week. I don't know if this could be enlarged enough to make it worth using in your situation but I do believe it's worth a try. It only cost us a small amount of energy to pump the water and nature took care of the rest.
We would just drain the system back into the source where it came from but if you are pulling it out of ocean water maybe you could run it until there was no water left and sell it as sea salt.
Stfu noob 🤣
@@cassieknowslots get off your mum’s phone
It requires more energy to run the more saline the water is. So it’s uneconomical to extract fresh water from the brine at a certain point.

In America , such projects are not feasible because it would be stopped by a study on how the flebledauble ant would be affected.

That technology is outdated, but, we have newer and better ideas, now.
Well send you a proposal."
America: " Oh, yes, that would be good. We'll have to complete some studies and get back to you."

More like some rich people might make less money and will be taxed more to build these mega projects that will benefit the country, and so use lobbying to kill the projects.
Remember that elon musk actually lied and use the hyperloop to try to sabotage the California high speed rail because he wants to sell more cars. Rich people are the number one reasons why America is no longer building these great projects because America is already fully optimized for wealth extraction. Anything else means more taxes on them and disrupt their wealth extraction and they will kill it in Congress.

Meanwhile, in many provinces in the Philippines, we are dependent on water rationing (some water delivery trucks are even getting water from sidewalk water hydrants then delivering these to households), and we are reclaiming lands, too, BUT we have many unutilized land inland, many areas experiencing urban decay, and what's worse, these reclaimed areas are privately-owned hotels and resorts, their lands dumped on top of coral reefs and rich marine habitat. Unlike Singapore, we are blessed with natural resources. But also unlike Singapore, the priorities and actions seem otherwise the opposite. 🐵
I know and I understand your situation. Most countries need their own version of Lee Kuan Yee the first Prime Minister of Singapore. But they are few and far between as real leadership with a long term view and an awareness of what clear vs bad thinking is, is in short supply most everywhere.
Where did Singapore get soil/sand to reclaim the area? The more Singapore invent new solutions to solve problems the more problems are awaiting in front of it . Singaporean life are very tought especially now during Covid19 pandemic. The brain of Singaporean are fully utilized. Very productive as they always claim. When they sleep their brains are still working, functioning, and thinking.

Singappre is sorrounded by small islets, other raw materials like sand came from their neighboring countries like Malaysia and Indonesia
@@mayotrenta30 nah Malaysia and Indonesia had already banned sand exporting.
@@wancoet You should so some actual research before running your mouth.
@@jadedjay7861 just search VICE report on sand mining, here in UA-cam, you'll get the idea. Somehow CNA wouldn't let me put the link in my reply.
for the water treatment plant - maybe use the abundant solar electricity during the day to treat the seawater, and at night, when there is less sun power, treat the rainwater which costs less energy.
GREAT. Love
I really hope the UN make Singapore the capital city and move to this little red dot. 🇸🇬🇸🇬🇸🇬
Great engineering, interesting documentary.
But after half an hour I got the impression that I'm watching a Singapore commercial.
(How many tons of CO2 is this new harbour generating, what are the toxic coatings of the caissons poisoning ....?)
All human activity is responsible for 0.8% of atmospheric co2. The other 99.2% of atmospheric co2 is caused by the sun. The data proves it.

Singapore, the sky is the limit. literally. 😊
Raffles would be astounded at the change since Singapore was first set up as a port.
He think he cum to wrong country!
Makes me want to move to Singapore.
What are you waiting for. Don't wait?
Don't. You will hate nothing much to do in this small country. Lol
Move in to an island is the good ideas
@@mrreedawn4573 you’ll get pretty much of everything you need living there. And lots more the neighbours can’t offer. It’s certainly an oasis as compared to any beside.
Just build and build. Nature always comes back.
concrete is just amazing...
Waoooooo watching from Nagaland kuknalim NAGA
Where do they get the extra soil and building materials for the land reclamation?
I assume through dredging sand from the sea bed, it's only a guess but I have seen it done many times where land is extended into estuaries for building projects, especially where the intent is to raise the level of land well above projected flood levels.
Probably from all the tunnelling they're doing (see the other video in this series)
Singapore is the biggest importer of sand in the world. Their sand mainly comes from all over asia
I gotta get out more..
Very nice
Muito legal essa Tecnologia no porto de cargas.
