由来

该词源自于广东话（广州话、粤语），为广东话对英语 “water rationing” 的意译。
60 年代的新加坡曾出现严重干旱的气候，人口也不断增加，导致用水量极速增加。
政府在1963 年 4 月 23 日至 1964 年 2 月 28 日之间，实行长达十个月的制水活动。
公用事业局（Public Utilities Board）在 1995 年展开的全国节省用水运动（Save Water Campaign）中第一次举行六天的制水演习，目的是要加强国人对新加坡水源短缺问题的关注，并提醒国人节省用水的重要性。

ETYMOLOGY

The term “制水” originated from a Cantonese paraphrase of the English term “water rationing”.
In the 1960s, Singapore experienced extremely dry climate while its population continued to increase, leading to a rapid rise in water consumption.
The Government implemented water rationing exercises for ten months between 23 April 1963 and 28 February 1964.
During the nationwide Save Water Campaign conducted in 1995, the PUB held a water rationing exercise for the first time which lasted for six days.
