Singapore's Current Water Supplies (Local Water Catchment)

Singapore has a network of drains, canals and rivers which channels rain water to the reserviors.
Marina Reservoir, the first reservoir in the city, is formed by building the Marina Barrage across the Marina Channel. The Marina Reservoir will have the largest and most urbanized catchment at one-sixth of Singapore. Local water catchment area will be increased to two-thirds by 2011 when Marina, Punggol and Serangoon Reservoirs are completed.
Here is a list of reservoirs in Singapore: Pandan Reservoir, Kranji Reservoir, Jurong Lake Reservoir, MacRitchie Reservoir , Upp Pierce Reservoir, Lower Pierce Reservoir, Bedok Reservoir, Upp Seletar Reservoir, Lower Seletar Reservoir, Marina Reservoir, Future Pungol Reservoir and Future Serangoon Reservoir.
