Brief Description:    <\/p>\n

Terrain is EASY.      
Bring your cameras – very scenic!
Toilet facilities — Only at MRT stations.
Rain or shine, we will be there!<\/p>\n

Let’s explore yet another natural forest reserve.  A LUSH forest of tropical trees and shrubs, Enjoy its peace
and quietness…… GOOD for mental health, mood and some eye-cercise!     \"emoticon\"<\/p>\n

I was there when I was  probably around 0.9m. I recalled to get to the reservoir one has to walk on a long
paved road, from a distance a rocket-shaped tower looms into view.  As I stand nearer to it, it seems to
tower over my small frame.  <\/p>\n

This iconic observation tower still stands tall and straight but, gone is the feeling of its towering presence;
though from its top it still provides a panoramic view of the waters and surrounding greenery.<\/p>\n

Seletar Reservoir was damaged during the Japanese war in 1941.  It was renamed Upper Seletar Reservoir
after the construction of  Lower Seletar Reservoir.  It is one of the 4 main reservoirs and its nature reserve
acts as a water catchment area, its waters is used for drinking and daily usage after treatment for the
people in Singapore.
Upper Seletar Reservoir has been expanded twice in capacity and in 1999 it became a marked conservation site!<\/p>\n

When did you last visit Seletar Reservoir?   
Since you were a child like me or……   Never ever?      Come, join us!          \"emoticon\"<\/p>\n

Stay cool Be cool!          \"emoticon\"  <\/p>\n
