Introduction to Lower Seletar Reservoir

Lower Seletar Reservoir was opened in June 2010 and it was made by building a dam across Sungei Seletar. A series of drains and canals would channel rainwater that has fallen in parts of Yishun and Ang Mo Kio to this reservoir. Singapore has 4 national taps namely the local catchment water, imported water, NEWater and desalinated water and these national taps play a major role in ensuring that Singapore get enough supply of drinking water. These are part of the Active, Beautiful, Clean Waters (ABC Waters) Programme which aims to create clean streams, rivers and lakes which are well integrated with surrounding parts and green space, bringing people closer to nature.
