Mission
SSG promotes environment awareness. Through the gallery, visitors are able to better understand the story behind the island's largest and most urbanised water catchment area that serves to create a freshwater reservoir to boost water supply, acts as a tidal barrier to prevent flooding and offer revenue for water-based recreation.
Galleries
The 6 galleries enable visitors to explore the unique aspects of Singapore's sustainable story.
