The ABC Waters @ Sungei Ulu Pandan aims to create a river-side classroom where residents and students can learn more about the environment around the river. Besides incorporating selected plants and soil to help cleansing of rainwater run-off, residents can enjoy more community spaces with more gathering decks being built.
Much of the existing greenery has been retained and some of the existing drains have been naturalised to further enhance the environment.
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.
