The State of the Environment report tells the Singapore Story from the environmental point of view. It highlights Singapore's achievements to date, the current situation and future challenges in the areas that come under the charge of the Ministry of the Environment and Water Resources, namely:

• Ensuring a clean and hygienic living environment.
• Managing the complete water cycle - from sourcing, collection, purification and supply of drinking water to the treatment of used water, recycling into NEWater and storm water drainage.

The report also includes the work of MEWR's two statutory boards - the National Environment Agency (NEA) and PUB, the national water agency.
