Part A:
Introduction to jurong lake park:

Jurong Lake Park is a 70ha(Hectare) freshwater lake and reservoir located in the western region of Singapore formed with the damming of Sungei Jurong further downstream. The lake serves as a reservoir contributing to the water supply of the country. It lies next to the Lakeside MRT station, which derived its name from the geographical feature. The lake is surrounded by parkland, which serves as a recreational ground for nearby residents in Jurong East and Jurong West New Towns.

When we reached the Jurong Lake Park, there were some people fishing in some of the restricted areas which is against the laws. But fishing is now allowed in some of the designated spots around the lake. The water of the lake was green in colour and there were empty bottles lying around the lake. There were also a lot of different types of animals like Squirrels, birds and also a variety of insects like Dragonfly, butterfly, water snails and its eggs. We hope that park users will understand so that there is still hope for the biodiversity in Jurong Lake Park. :)
