CONSERVING KALLANG RIVER AND JURONG LAKE:

* PREVENT SOIL EROSION

To prevent soil erosion, plant grass, tress seedlings, and ferns which can help hold the soil and also plants which can thrive along the body of water. In areas where soil erosion is frequent, it is best to plant trees and plants that have roots that grow deep in the soil so that the roots will help to anchor the soil to the ground during soil erosion.

* REGULAR RIVER CLEAN UP

If the river is too long and there is no control over other communites which are encompassed by the river, coordinate with the local units in those areas. Conduct monthly clean up so that everyone has appreciation of proper caring of the river and to also reduce the deaths of animals who mistaken the litter for food, and consume them which causes the animals to choke to death and cause animals to become endangered and soon extinct. 

* MAINTAIN CLEAN WATER

Do not dispose trash, debris, or any junk material into the rivers and lakes. These materials will cause pollution to the bodies of water. A clean water should be cleared and can be drunk, free from litters, no stinking and foul smell, fish and other aquatic life can survive, and suitable for swimming and other recreation activities.
