Introduction- Overview

Lower Seletar Reservoir is located on the North-Eastern part of Singapore. It is one of the 17 reservoirs in Singapore. It's a water cathment area, which is one of our Four National Taps. The reservoir is 3.6 kilometres squared.
In 1924, to support the Growing population and industralisation, Lower Seletar Reservoir was built, following MacRitchie and Pierce Reservoirs.In 1969, as a result of expansion in 1940 and 1967 respectively, it became Singapore's largest reservoir at that time. It was also a popular leisure spot. In 1986, a dam was constructed across the mouth of Seletar River from the upstream areas to further ensure it could hold sufficient water. In 1992, Seletar Resevoir was renamed Upper Seletar Reservoir, while Sungei Seletar Reservoir was renamed Lower Seletar Reservoir.In 2004, reservoirs in Singapore were opened for water activities to let people recognise that water is a shared resource.In 2010, the makeover of Lower Seletar Reservoir under the ABC Waters Programme has been completed.
