Introduction
Map of Singapore's Reservoirs

There are currently 17 reservoirs in Singapore, LS being one of them. There are also 32 major rivers and more than 7000km of canals and drains. 

Lower Seletar Reservoir was formed by building a dam across Sungei Seletar. Rainwater that falls in parts of Yishun and Ang Mo Kio towns is channeled to the Lower Seletar Reservoir through the networks of drains and canals.

Water from local catchement is a pillar of Singapore's water sustainability strategy which is what LSR is built for. Not only that, LSR has a ABC Waters Learning Trail which allows students and the public to explore LSR to discover the following themes. (see above)

Singapore's Four National Taps. 

By investing in water technology and adopting an integrated approach to water management over the last 40 years, Singapore has developed a diversified and sustainable water supply known as the Four National Taps. (see above picture)



Overall, LSR is hoped to be a meaningful place for outdoor learning. Students and the public are able to learn about LSR’s waters and the diversity of the life it supports through the trail and come back cherishing and putting in more care of Singapore’s precious water resources.
