Dear Mr. Blackstone

Proposal for Implementation of Rainwater Harvesting System

In response to your letter of authorisation dated September 30 2015, we have the honour of presenting to you the proposal for the implementation of a rainwater harvesting system in the new main campus of Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT) in Punggol.

Water is a scarce resource in Singapore. As a result, water infrastructure would need to be planned continuously to ensure an adequate water supply for the future generations. In addition, the average annual rainfall is approximately 2338.5 millimetres and has increased at an average rate of 157 millimetres per decade. Since studies have shown an increase in rainfall over the years, the implementation of a rainwater harvesting system will benefit Singapore in conserving water significantly.

According to the 3rd Green Building Masterplan by Building and Construction Authority (BCA), the BCA aims to achieve greening of at least 80 per cent of the buildings in Singapore by 2030. As announced in the 2015 National Day Rally by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, the new SIT campus will be built in 2020. In line with the initiatives set by BCA, our group proposes to further innovate the new SIT campus with the implementation of a rainwater harvesting system.

It has been a privilege to undertake this work. We would like to thank you for taking the time to read through the proposal, and hope that you will take our suggestions into consideration to make SIT more environmental friendly.

Yours sincerely

Goh Kangyu
