Singapore is blessed with clean running water here, but we are considered one of the world’s most water-stressed countries. Hence everyone needs to cultivate responsible water use from young.
In this programme, our children get adventuring as young scientists out in the neighbourhood! Learn about our water systems by investigating our water canals and streams, locating the drains below us and discovering through exploration and experiments. Our water trekkers will also get to make simple tools to participate in water activities at different catchment areas to discover the interrelationships between water, wildlife, and other living things on earth.
