As the name implies, this is a water reservoir for Singapore. They currently have to buy water from Malaysia and clean the water. This is one of the attempts for Singapore to become self sufficient. Singapore does an excellent job blending the natural world with the modern world. There is a wood plank around the edge of the reservoir--about 10 km long. Surrounding the resevoir is a tropical rain forest--with all its wild animals!! Emily thought we were getting a little too close, but it was amazing to see the monkeys up close.
We also saw several schools of fish, some turtles, and the largest ant I have ever scene. The ant probably would have covered a quarter from head to toe.
All that danger, and we managed to come out unscathed; however, Miriam did get a bloody nose. But all's well that ends well.
