Summary: It is commonly stated that Singapore depends upon the Malaysian state of Johor for half its daily supply of potable water. This is perceived by Singapore as a point of vulnerability; certainly Malaysia regularly threatens to cut water supplies when the two countries are in disagreement on some issue. This book contains three papers dealing with different aspects of water security. The first looks at natural resource management in Southeast Asia, the second looks at water as a political weapon in Singapore Malaysia relations, while the third suggests that Singapore is not in fact as dependent on Johor water as is commonly supposed and that it may become less so in the future.
