Tap 1: Water from local catchments

14 water reservoirs are being constructed island wide, to increase the fresh water supply. Reservoirs receive water from the storm water collection ponds. The storm water ponds are now being constructed in some housing estates so that more water can be collected. Half of Singapore is water catchments. There is an extension of the catchments, Marina Barrage. Freshwater reservoirs are also constructed, such as Sungei Punggol and Sungei Serangoon. In 2009, water catchments of Singapore comprised 2/3 of Singapore's total area.
