During an event at Marina Barrage to mark World Water Day 2011 yesterday, Mr Goh said Singapore is today "much less dependent" on Malaysia, from which it imports water.

Mr Goh said: "Besides imported water from Malaysia, we have water from local catchments, Newater and desalinated water. We will continue to expand the water supply to meet the needs of our population and growing economy."
