SINGAPORE: Punggol and Sengkang residents can now enjoy Singapore's largest man-made floating wetland.
The Sengkang Floating Wetland in Punggol Reservoir is a floating structure half the size of a football field - the first of this scale to be built in Singapore.
It was officially opened by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong on Sunday.
The wetland links Anchorvale Community Club to the Sengkang Riverside Park.
Rich in biodiversity, the wetland also serves to cleanse the water in the reservoir.
And there are plans to set up a water sports activities centre at Sengkang West so that residents can participate in canoeing and dragon boating.
To promote conservation, NTUC FairPrice has sponsored S$30,000 to set up an educational fund for the Sengkang Floating Wetland.
The project is developed by national water agency PUB as part of the
Active, Beautiful, Clean Waters (ABC Waters) Programme, which aims to revitalise water bodies in Singapore.
Other ABC Waters Programme projects underway include Bishan Park and Alexandra Canal.
Prime Minister Lee also called on Singaporeans to keep the parks and waters clean.
"We've got to keep our parks and waters pristine and beautiful, and keep our estates clean, too, because when it rains in Sengkang or Anchorvale or Punggol, the litter on the ground will be washed into the reservoirs through the drains and the canals and eventually it will mess up our drinking water," he said.
