We tried Singapore鈥檚 sewage beer. What can we learn from their water recycling story?

Graphic for the Context video 'We tried Singapore鈥檚 sewage beer. What can we learn from their water recycling story?'

Singapore is one of the most water-stressed countries in the world. One way they've addressed this is by recycling sewage water. They call it NEWater and it meets 40% of their water needs. A small portion is used as tap water.

Now the government has partnered with a local brewery to create a beer called NEWBrew, made from recycled drinking water. So how does it taste? And what can we learn from Singapore’s water recycling experiment?
