In reflection of World Water Day, celebrated March 22, CH2M’s Subbu Kanakasabapthy, regional managing director for Asia Pacific shares how Singapore reuses its water in a video interview with CNBC Asia.

PUB, Singapore’s national water agency, has long been a leader in water innovation, becoming a hub for mutually beneficial technology collaborations and exchanges as it shores up its own water security.
