BACKGROUND
SDWA started in February 2007

PUB Deltares NUS

EWI

HISTORY
Following Delft Hydraulics advisory work on Marina Lake (2005), an idea developed (in May 2006) to establish joint research centre In June 2006, task force established to develop research agenda and request for funding In late December 2006, Environmental Water Industry Development Council (EWI) grants S$ 24 million to National University of Singapore (NUS) to establish Singapore Delft Water Alliance SDWA inaugurated on February 23, with official start of activities on April 1, 2007 SDWA is 5 year programme, with key intention to evolve self-funded institute during the perion

FINANCIALS

REIMBURSEMENTS, MORE DETAILS

Deltares contributes S$ 18.7 million (in kind)
S$ 1 million in value of software S$ 17.7 million in terms of manpower

S$ 17.7 million generates S$ 11.8 million of EWI funds

1/3rd of S$ 11.8m = S$ 3.93m back to Deltares for additional research 2/3rds of S$ 11.8 = S$ 7.87m to SDWA to fund local research (EOM+ OOE) S$ 1 m software reimbursed in terms of maintenance fee (S$ 0.6 m)

NUS S$ 14.8m generates S$ 9.87 million of EWI funds, entirely goes to SDWA (EOM+ OOE) PUB S$ 6m generates S$ 4 million of EWI funds, entirely goes to SDWA (EOM+ OOE)

REAL GRANT BENEFICIARIES

Deltares S$ 4.53 m (S$ 3.93 m + software maintenance) SDWA S$ 19.47 m

In reality, most of EWI grant is de facto investment in establishment of research team, which should be able to continue operating on self-funded principles after SDWA research programme is over
