Training at Waterways Watch Society

We collaborated with PUB and Waterways Watch Society (WWS), to have a better insight on the importance of environmental protection and conservation. Our group members attended 4 training sessions conducted by WWS. These training sessions were very insightful and beneficial and included a presentation stressing the importance of keeping our waterway clean, a boat patrol, a bicycle patrol as well as a beach clean up session where we learnt how to identify the pollutants and how to remove the various pollutants from the river. We also learnt from WWS on how they helped to inform the relevant authorities in their patrol duty and how they spot as well as identify potential pollutants. The trainings were very useful as it helped us learn more about the relevant knowledge and skills that will help us to carry out our very own River Guardianz project.
Besides the identification of various pollutants, we also learnt how to identify potential pollutants such as loose bricks and banners that are sometimes hanging at the drains. We have learnt how these potential pollutants can cause negative impact to the environment as well as the ecosystem. All of us as well as our teacher-in-charge gained more exposure towards environmental protection and conservation through these training sessions and we are all certainly more convicted and committed to Save-The-Earth.
