PART A
Group's Reflection on our trip to Jurong Lake Park:
On 27th August 2009, we went to Jurong Lake Park to look at and to take pictures of the organisms there. We saw many organisms and it was very interesting to be able to see different types and different species of organisms. Although we only managed to take a few pictures as it started drizzling halfway through, we managed to see water snails, their eggs, and many small fish near the water.
We also saw a decomposing bird there, and there were many bees feeding on it. The bird could have died due to pollution or a park user might have hurt it. On our way back to school, we also saw a squashed frog on the floor. It must have been a result of human activities, for example, cars driving along that road might not have seen the frog and might have accidentally ran over it. We also saw a boat on the lake. The people on it might have been patrolling the area for litter in the water.
Jurong Lake Park:
A landscaped sanctuary called Jurong Lake Park was built around the perimeter of the lake and work was completed in January 2006. Also, a 2.8 kilometre water promenade along Jurong Lake Park would allow residents to participate in watersports.
As is the case for most other reservoirs in Singapore, fishing and swimming are currently illegal in the lake, although this may change in line with the Singapore government's liberalisation of the use of bodies of water in the republic. However, the water is noted to be green in colour during dry weather and a murky brown after a downpour, the likely result of runoff from its urban catchment area.
The lake came into prominence in 2002 when a boy fell into a drain which led to Sungei Lanchar during a thunderstorm. His lifeless body was subsequently found in the lake after a search operation two days after the incident.
