The Kallang River is no Kinabatangan or Mekong River. For most of its length, it is a narrow concrete canal that connects Lower Peirce Reservoir to Marina Reservoir. However, a stretch of the river that runs through Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park has been naturalised, turning it into a breathtaking force of nature at the heart of our concrete jungle. And with the restoration of this river, the surrounding landscape was brought to life. In September 2023, our NUS GE3255 Aquatic, Riparian and Coastal Systems class explored this reach of the Kallang River with Prof. Gretchen and our TA Kyle.
