The History of Water Quality in Singapore: Talking about Science from a Historical Perspective (or is it History from a Scientific Perspective)

[Appended in March 2024: The experience in 2023 had been so positive that I returned in March 2024 to give another round of training to the latest batch of docents of the National Museum of Singapore. The session was conducted more like a discussion rather than a lecture. This is one of my preferred modes of "training" for adult learners.]

 

I recently (March 2023) had the privilege to be invited to provide a training session to the docents of the National Museum of Singapore. The topic was on the history of water quality in Singapore. Admittedly, history has never been my forte since my secondary school days. In fact, I used to thumb my nose at the subject. However, water quality is and it has always been my pleasure to share about this topic with all manner of audience and even from a historical perspective.
