Singapore's water import agreement expires
The 1962 agreement under which Singapore draws raw water from the Johor river runs to 2061. The date is a contractual fact rather than a prediction, and it is the deadline against which NEWater, desalination and catchment expansion have been planned for six decades.
Planned — a programme target or declared plan, from a source that declared it. Never a prediction.

The Four National Taps and Singapore's water loop
Supports the four-source framework, NEWater's introduction in 2003, plant capacity meeting up to around 40 per cent of national water demand against a total demand on the order of two million cubic metres a day, and the 2061 expiry of the water agreement with Malaysia.
