pandan reservoir

there is not much of a park at pandan reservoir. in fact, it serves mainly as a storage place for non-potable water which is supplied to the industries in the western part of singapore, particularly to the jurong industrial estate.

the reservoir is formed by the damming of sungei pandan. you can tell that the water in this reservoir is not as clear or as clean as that in the other reservoirs. however, though fishing is not permitted in the pandan reservoir, there are sizeable fish in the waters.

i followed a red arowana swimming at the edge of the water. as i walked further, i came across two fairly large aruan also by the water edge.

found some creepers bearing pods along a track away from the reservoir. along the perimeter of the reservoir, there is a track. met a solitary jogger all the time i was there. if i had walked at my usual pace, i think i would take about an hour to cover the whole perimeter.

the s'pore rowing association has its centre located at 249 jalan buroh. the rowing boats and a couple of dragon boats are stored there. they use the reservoir for their training sessions and i believe rowing competitions are also being held at pandan reservoir.
