Third Station- Litter Trap :)

The canal delivers water from nearby housing estates and drains to the reservoir to purify the water for use. The litter trap is located at the mouth of the canal just before the reservoir to trap litter and other things like leaves and twigs. The purpose is to prevent litter from entering the reservoir and causing blockages in the drainage systems as these litters will cause harm to the marine life and ecosystem of the reservoir. The litter can also cause pollution to the reservoir so thus, the water in the reservoir requires more filtering systems which is costlier,Hence, the litter trap is installed. Although we have such a commodity, it is still our responsibility to keep our waters clean, by throwing our litter into bins instead of the drains.
