Central Water Catchment

Location of the Central Water Catchment within Singapore

The Central Water Catchment (Chinese: 中央集水区), also known as the Central Catchment Area, is one of the two main water catchments of Singapore. The country's main reservoirs – MacRitchie, Upper Seletar, Upper Peirce and Lower Peirce – are in the central catchment area.[1]

The Central Water Catchment lies in the geographical centre of the city, and is largely home to the Central Catchment Nature Reserve which houses several other recreational sites, including the Singapore Zoo, the Night Safari and the River Safari.
