Singapore drinks recycled sewage water

And by recycled, I literally mean toilet recycled water that you then drink over and over again. Very high water standards, very high water quality, but almost all of it is very heavily recycled. And Singapore did it for geopolitical reasons because they haven't got the land to secure huge amounts of water. Singapore's got a whole different model around water security. So, you know, Marina Bay Sands and that kind of area, that's actually a water reservoir for drinking water.
