ABC Waters Project @ Jurong Canal includes improves the experience of people getting closer to the water with enhanced greenery, rain gardens and lookout decks.
A new focal node at the confluence of Jurong West Subsidiary Drain and Jurong Canal incorporates strong blue-green messaging with ABC Waters design features to educate the public. A treatment train of swales and rain gardens demonstrate conveyance and cleansing of stormwater runoff before being discharged into Jurong Canal.
This large pond is a sedimentation basin that temporarily collects water from the drains. It allows larger sediments to settle before cleaner water flows continuously into the river. Aquatic plants are planted along the edge to help absorb nutrients in the rainwater run-off while enhancing biodiversity of the area.

PUB piloted a new design of staircase with a wheeling ramp after receiving resident’s feedback to ease cyclists from carrying their bicycles up and down the stairs.
An existing concrete drain has been transformed into a natural stream. This natural drain, known as vegetated swale channels the rainwater into Sungei Ulu Pandan while at the same time remove large sediments from the runoff.
At this circular viewing deck, you can see water flowing from the drain to the river, through a cleansing biotope. A cleansing biotope is a natural cleansing system that consists of carefully selected plants which help to cleanse the water by filtering pollutants and absorbing nutrients.
