The scene of the lake

This shows the beautiful scenario of the lake through under the tree.All the trees tend to grow towards the lake in order to absorb more water and fight for more sunlight with other trees around it.

The rotting process of a tortoise.

This picture shows a scene of a tortoise that has rotted and being infested by a lot of maggots ,green fly,bacteria,germs and many other micro-organisms.i think that the tortoise has been there for a long period of time already as parts of its body have already been sort of 'eaten ' by the organisms as mentioned just now.The legs are gone and part of the head is also eaten and this will help to increase the amount of carbon dioxide release into the environment as decomposition produce carbon dioxide and water.

Litters left by people who visited the park

This picture show the rubbish that people left there after they visited the park,these people are being very inconsiderate as they never care for people who come to visit the park after them,when people come and see this , they will think that the park is very dirty and cancel their trip to the park.

History of Jurong Lake Park

Jurong Lake (Chinese: 裕廊湖) is a freshwater lake and reservoir located in the western region of Singapore formed with the damming of Sungei Jurong further downstream. The lake serves as a reservoir contributing to the water supply of the country. It lies next to the Lakeside MRT station, which derived its name from this geographical feature. The lake is surrounded by parkland, which serves as a recreational ground for nearby residents in Jurong East and Jurong West New Towns.

Several tourist attractions located near or even within the Lake, including Chinese Garden and Japanese Garden, which are located on their respective islands within the lake, as well as the nearby Tang Dynasty Village, which has since closed down. Amenities such as the Jurong East swimming complex and Jurong Point shopping mall are also relatively nearby. Jurong Country Club lies further south along Yuan Ching Road.

Besides the 2 public housing estates (Jurong West and Taman Jurong), private apartments can also be found around the lake, including Lakeside Towers, Lakeside Apartments, Lakeside Condominium, Parc Oasis and two brand new condominiums, Lakeholmz and Lakeshore.

Construction is underway to build a landscaped sanctuary called Jurong Lake Park around the perimeter of the lake and work will be completed in January 2006.

As is the case for most other reserviors in Singapore, fishing and swimming are currently illegal in the lake, although this may change in line with the Singapore government's liberalisation of the use of bodies of water in the republic. However, the water is noted to be green in colour during dry weather and a murky brown after a downpour, the likely result of runoff from its urban catchment area.

The lake came into prominence in 2002 when a boy fell into a drain during a thunderstorm. His lifeless body was subsequently found in the lake after a search operation.

A small pond

This shows a clear view of the pond in Jurong Lake Park.At the bottom of the lake, there seems to have a few organisms living in there. Like the mosquito larva and more water insects in there.
