The two plans were put to public consultation from 23 July 2002 to 22 October 2002. More than 35,000 visited the exhibition, and feedback was received from about 3,600 individuals. Appointment of Subject Groups 1.2 3 Subject Groups (SGs) were appointed by Minister of National Development, Mr Mah Bow Tan as part of the public consultation exercise to study proposals under the following areas: a. Subject Group 1: Parks and Waterbodies Plan and the Rustic Coast b. Subject Group 2: Urban Villages and Southern Ridges & Hillside Villages c. Subject Group 3: Old World Charm 1.3 The SG members, comprising professionals, representatives from interest groups and lay people were tasked to study the various proposals for the 2 plans, conduct dialogue sessions with stakeholders and consider public feedback, before making their recommendations to URA on the proposals. Following from the public consultation exercise, URA will finalise the proposals and incorporate the major land use changes and ideas into the Master Plan 2003.

Discover how our small city-state, which used to face challenges such as droughts and pollution, has transformed into a global hydrohub and vibrant City of Gardens and Water. Water sustainability is crucial to Singapore’s success. Singapore has ensured a robust and sustainable supply of water capable of catering to the country’s continued growth through the Four National Taps. The four taps or sources of water are water from local catchment, imported water, NEWater and desalinated water. One of PUB’s long-term initiatives is the Active, Beautiful, Clean Waters (ABC Waters) Programme, which will see the transformation of our network of drains, canals and reservoirs into beautiful and clean streams, rivers and lakes that are well integrated with surrounding parks and green space, bringing people closer to nature.

PUB Looks to Bedok and Lower Seletar Reservoirs for More Solar Power
PUB looks to Bedok and Lower Seletar Reservoirs for more solar power Singapore, 30 April 2018: PUB, Singapore’s National Water Agency looks set to produce more solar energy, with a tender called today to conduct engineering studies for the deployment of floating solar photovoltaic (PV) systems in Bedok Reservoir and Lower Seletar Reservoir. This is in line with PUB’s vision to further tap on its installations to generate renewable energy and reduce carbon footprint. Powering PUB installations with solar energy 2 Energy is required throughout the water loop – pumping of raw water from reservoirs to waterworks, production of drinking water at waterworks, treatment of wastewater, and production of NEWater and desalinated water. There is potential to replace some of the grid energy needed by its operations with solar energy generated by solar panels installed on the roof spaces of existing installations and on the surfaces of the reservoirs. 3 PUB’s tender for engineering studies will look into the detailed designs for a 1 MWp (megawatt peak) floating solar PV system at Lower Seletar Reservoir and a 1.5MWp floating solar PV system at Bedok Reservoir. Occupying roughly 1 and 1.5 ha respectively, each solar PV system will take up less than 2 per cent of total surface area at the reservoirs. The floating solar panels will be installed away from the current water activities zones at both reservoirs. 4 Besides the floating solar PV systems, PUB is also installing a 0.5 MWp PV system on the roof of Bedok Waterworks by this year. 5 Collectively, the solar PV systems at Bedok Reservoir and Bedok Waterworks will supply solar energy to both the Pump Station, which pumps raw water from Bedok Reservoir to Bedok Waterworks for treatment, and to the Waterworks to pump treated water into the water supply network for households.
