It took ten years to clean up the Singapore River. The task was completed in September 1987.
Apparently, the up keep of the river depends very much on the cleaning crew. As seen here at the mouth of the Singapore River, they are performing their duty first thing in the morning.
This year’s World Environment Day falls on June 5, 2008. This is an image that I captured during my visit to Salford Quays last July. I was surprised to come across the amount of garbage gathered here. Obviously, majority of people are not aware that to dump refuse into the water area would cause such of a serious environmental problem.
As seen in the picture, the Football Club United of Manchester is just within a stone’s throw of this location.
Green environment is a great concern worldwide. Our reservoirs are essential to our water supply. To upkeep the cleanliness of the water catchments area is an important task of the authority. As seen here, the green environment is well maintained at our reservoirs. Nowadays, most of our catchments areas are locations for the water sport as well. Besides my previous posting of “By The Side Of Lower Seletar”, I have managed to capture another image of “Singapore Today” at the same location.
