Lower Seletar Reservoir is one of the 17 water catchment areas in Singapore and was opened in June 2010. The reservoir was formed by building a dam across Sungei Seletar. Rainwater that falls in parts of Yishun and Ang Mo Kio towns is channelled to this particular reservoir through the network of drains and canals. Singapore has 4 National Taps: Local Catchment Water, Imported Water, NE Water and Desalinated Water. Local Catchment belongs to Lower Seletar Reservoir. It plays a crucial role in ensuring Singapore has an ample water supply. It boasts of a rich and intriguing history. It is part of the Active Beautiful Clean waters (ABC) programme, which aims to involves the community in the nation’s efforts in ensuring water sustainability, its architectural structures are inspired its heritage. It is a meaningful place for outdoor learning. The Learning Trail is an effective way to educate students about Singapore’s water supply and get them involved in water conservation. It has enriched us greatly and is a unique and interesting way to teach students various topics. This first-hand experience we had at the topic ‘Water Resources’ beat learning from a textbook hands down.
