SINGAPORE: The PUB is now calling for tenders to build a fruit-themed wetland in Sengkang.

It is also Singapore's first man-built floating wetland.

The project is expected to start construction next year and will be completed by mid-2009.

This island will be located in the middle of the new Punggol Reservoir as one of the projects under the water agency's Active, Beautiful and Clean Waters Programme.

Such projects are aimed at beautifying Singapore's canals, drains and reservoirs.

Other similar projects in Bedok and and Kolam Ayer are also expected to be completed by the end of this year.
