Hello. Si Jia here(: This is the picture of Kallang Basin. It’s really pretty but my hand sort of covered the bottom of the picture-.- But anyways, you have no idea how big Kallang Basin is! If you have no idea where it is, you can see it from the highway, or at the indoor stadium(: Oh, the water’s super clear too:D
Be glad k! Kallang Basin is like the biggest drainage basin in Singapore! Bet you all didn’t know that this place is being drained by rivers like Kallang, Geylang, Rochor and Whampoa rivers!(: Maybe all your tap water is from Kallang Basin!:O But, it’s clean anyway(:
Yeps, as you all can see, when there’s rain (precipitation), it either flows directly into the drainage basin itself, or it gets intercepted by the grassland at the background. So then, you all better know what will happen, if not you ought to slap yourself! Well, the water gets infiltrated into the soil, then there’s the normal process, the throughflow in the zone of aeration and the baseflow in the zone of saturation:D And the water can then flow towards the reservoirs and rivers nearby((: BUT! Remember, if there’s input, there will always be output too! Must balance right:D The outputs are evaporation and transpiration from the grasslands/trees(:
So cool rights(: You all can totally admire the Kallang Basin and at the same time camwhore:D We can have our next class outing there!(:
I personally feel that the drainage basin is not very clean as the water that flows through the basin are from drains near commercial district. As there is a lot of human activities going on there, the water in the drains get easily polluted and thus the water that flows into the basin is not very clean as it appears to be.

Is the water in the drainage basin drinkable after processed by newater?then no water will be lost in water cycle by recycling all the used water and making use of precipitation.if we can know how to purify sea water,together with recycling method,then we don't need to worry about water problem in the future!:D
ReplyDeletebtw,your finger just creates some light and make the photo nicer!

This is a very beautiful basin. I am impressed by the BEAUTIFUL ENVIRONMENT! The water might not be as clean as it seems. There are dusts or drash at the bottom of the drainage. This sometimes contributes to the phenomenon that water could not flow out. So, when this happens, just jump into the water, and clean then all up!!!

HI SIJIA OMG your picture is so prettyyyy are you sure you took it yourself?! I'm surprised you have such good photography skills hahahah! ANYWAY. I never knew kallang basin is the biggest drainage basin in singapore!! ok honestly i didn't know kallang basin exist :( omg yay i learnt smth new :)
ReplyDeleteit'd be super cool if we could get drinkable water from kallang basin like what shuoyu mentioned! then singapore will probably be more sustainable in terms of water use (:
OH that's shumin btw. i always fail to remember to leave my name heh :(
