A focused A-Level AQA Geography Resource Security case study examining how Singapore has developed a diversified water supply system to improve long-term water security.

Students investigate Singapore’s approach to managing limited natural freshwater resources through four key sources: local catchments, imported water, NEWater and desalination. The resource encourages students to consider both the benefits and limitations of technological solutions to water insecurity.

The resource includes:

• A clear, visually engaging figure showing Singapore’s four main water sources
• Detailed information on local catchments, imported water, recycled wastewater and desalination
• Three AQA-style exam questions worth 4, 6 and 9 marks
• Comprehensive mark schemes

The figure highlights key elements of Singapore’s strategy, including around two-thirds of the country being used as water catchment, NEWater being planned to meet up to 55% of future demand, and desalination potentially supplying up to 30%.

Students progress from outlining physical factors affecting water availability, to explaining how diversification can increase water security, before assessing the extent to which technological solutions can provide sustainable water security.

Designed specifically for AQA A-Level Geography (7037), this resource is ideal for lessons, homework, independent revision or exam-question practice on Resource Security.
