Pang Sua Pond is a floating wetland located in Bukit Panjang, Singapore. It is the second-largest man-made wetland in Singapore. [1] The pond has a 480-meter long elevated bridge that connects to the Bukit Panjang Park Connector and the Senja-Cashew Community Club. It also serves as a stormwater collection pond. [2]
Pang Sua Pond was one of 16 stormwater collection ponds built in the 1990s to help combat the possibility of flooding during a heavy downpour by collecting surface runoff. [2] [1] [3] The water collected in Pang Sua Pond would then be pumped to the Upper Seletar Reservoir for treatment. [2] [4]
In 2014, the pond underwent a 30-month treatment under the Public Utilities Board's Active, Beautiful, Clean Waters (ABC Waters) scheme. [1] [4] [5] [3] [6]
