Now Singapore is known for being a Hydro Hub. Its neighboring country Indonesia, which faces the same geographical climate issues, is currently in a similar situation Singapore was 50 years ago. It struggles with polluted water and has difficulties to provide access to water with clean drinking water to its citizens. How can these two neighboring country be different in their approach to water management? This book aims to examine the dynamics of each countries' water management through the lens of co-evolutionary theory of economics. Sustainable Driven Entrepreneurship (SDE) serves as means to map out the overall modus operandi of each country and its viability for the future of the country.
