PUB launches iPhone app MyWaters

Features include access to CCTV cameras to view the situation at selected flood prone areas.

The free application from the national water agency provides useful and timely information on water-related topics and also engages users.

“Users will enjoy one of the most unique application experiences with features including the introduction of Active, Beautiful and Clean Waters (ABC Waters) sites that users can visit, and calendar of community events,” said PUB.

The agency added that users can also go on a ‘water trivia’ pursuit and learn more about Singapore’s water story. Users can embark as well on an informative self-guided “eTour” at the Marina Barrage.

Interactive elements of the application include a ‘share’ feature which enables users to upload photos of waterscapes around the island onto a public gallery, a dedicated feedback channel where users can send their feedback or suggestions to PUB.

Through MyWaters, users can also gain easy access to the latest on flash flood situations by checking water level information in key drain and canals, as well as road conditions at selected areas via CCTV images during rainstorms.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
