Excursion to Macritchie reservoir

We had an excursion to Macritchie reservoir. It was very fun and enjoyable, because of the wind and the cool calm motion of the waves of the water. We went there to do our project about water conservation. We learnt about the four taps: distillation, New water, imported water like Malaysia and reservoirs. We were lead around by our secondary four seniors, and we were to embark on an IDS project on water conservation. After the excursion, we decided to do as a group with Huai Ze, Kenneth and Yu Kheng. we were to do a brochure as well as a poster to promote water conservation. It was a very enjoyable experience as we met up at Kenneth's house and we discussed about the project. Even though we may have had certain misunderstandings as well as disagreements, the project was still purposeful and useful to us. We came up with the idea of giving a lot of information in our poster, but it did not turn out correctly, because there were few or little pictures and the poster was not enticing at all, ending up looking more like and information booklet cover. in the end we decided to include some photos of water conservation, such as new water and reservoirs, so that people would like to see our poster. We included information, but we spread it out such that the information was not overloaded, but yet there was still plenty of information to supply the people with what they want to know and what they need to know in order to play their part in conserving water in Singapore. Overall, i think that the excursion and the project served its purpose. I learnt that we need to conserve water, because we are running out of it and Malaysia might not be supplying us with water in the future. We need to prepare for ourselves and be independent.
