Abstract

Infrastructure covers various sectors that represent a large share of an economy and become a critical index of economic vitality. Both components of infrastructure: physical and social infrastructures are required to provide the necessary services for public interest. Reliable public utilities (e.g. power, telecommunication, water and gas supply, and other utilities), public works (e.g. roads, dams and canals, tunnels) and public transport (urban transport systems, railways, ports and waterways, and airports) are basic elements of a productive economy. Therefore, provision and maintenance of adequate infrastructure is essential for achieving rapid and sustainable economic growth. The adequacy of infrastructure helps to determine the country’s key success factors in increasing productivity, expanding trade and industry, coping with population growth, reducing poverty, improving environmental sustainability and living standards of the society. As massive investment is required, infrastructure development cannot be the responsibility of the public sector alone. Encouraging the participation of private sector investments is essential to maintain a sustainable infrastructure development. The public-private partnership will leverage a significant increase in additional finance, improve the project commercial viability and enhance the performance of the existing capital budget. Meanwhile, better management in the private sector can lead to an increased gain in project efficiency, leverage the capacity to innovate, as well as stimulate knowledge and technology transfer, which in turn will result in better quality and lower cost services.

Abstract

Asia and the Pacific region is a hot spot for water insecurity in the world. With water resources such as ground and surface water depleting, the demand for water consumption increases as urban population continues to grow. Meanwhile, non-revenue water (NRW) leads to inefficient water service delivery, waste of energy, drinking water contamination, loss of revenue, and increased operation costs. As the water stress continues in the region, what can cities in the region do to sustain their water future? To answer this question, this paper uses Singapore as an example and draws lessons from its urban water management experience. It finds that countries can take away from Singapore knowledge and practices, including institution autonomy paired with people-centric management, inter-agency coordination, emphasis on demand management, non-revenue water (NRW) regulation, as well as technologies and innovations. Apart from these, this paper also finds that the remaining water challenges faced by Singapore, such as climate change, energy dependence, and financial sustainability, are also shared by cities in developing Asia and Pacific countries. This paper therefore proposes solutions such as diversifying water sources and reducing NRW, increasing energy efficiency and exploring renewable energy, as well as engaging private sector investment as some of the first steps in tackling those shared challenges.
