        "summary": "Singapore water The seawater being turned into fresh water through a membrane separation process is Singapore's very own. This is a rare ownership right that is to be savored. There are encouraging precedents. Reverse osmosis (a much cheaper method of desalting than distillation, which uses more fuel) is a technology that has a history of about four decades. American research reports show that pure water had been produced using this method for industrial, military and laboratory uses.",
