Singapore project is first in Asia to win environmental prize rarely given outside US
A NEW man-made waterway in Punggol New Town has won a top international award for Singapore, a first by an Asian country for an environmentally sustainable project.
The Grand Prize for Excellence by the American Academy of Environmental Engineers (AAEE) is rarely given to projects outside the United States.
My Waterway @ Punggol known to some as the ‘Venice of Singapore’, clinched the prize for environmental engineering in the environmental sustainability category, said the Housing Board (HDB) yesterday.
