Reservoirs and water catchment areas.

The domestic primary source of water in Singapore is rainfall.
This rainfall makes up 67% of water supply in Singapore.
It has been increased from 50% to 67% by a margin of 17% due to the fact that a new water catchment area has been built, recently.
The examples of such reservoirs in Singapore are :

  • MacRitchie Reservoir
  • Bedok Reservoir
  • Upper Seletar Reservoir
  • Lower Seletar Reservoir
  • Kranji Reservoir
  • Pandan Reservoir
  • Poyan Reservoir
  • Upper Pierce Reservoir
  • Lower Pierce Reservoir
  • Tengeh Reservoir
  • Sarimbun Reservoir
  • Pulau Tekong Reservoir
  • Murai Reservoir
  • Marina Reservoir
  • Jurong Lake


Singapore also have a dam which has been designed to control the flood here, to act as a tourist lifestyle attraction and also to as another source of water supply for the country.
