Siloso Spring
Sustainable tourism is one of Sentosa's key guiding principles as we firmly believe in protecting our natural habitats, animals and plants for many generations to come. Conscious effort has been put in to ensure that we "reduce, reuse and recycle". At the same time, the effort engenders an environment and eco-system in which flora and fauna can be protected and flourish.
One such effort is the Siloso Spring which was discovered many years ago at the foot of Mount Imbiah Nature Reserve. Back then, the spring marked the boundary of the original shoreline before land reclamation in 1991. Rain or shine, there would be a steady stream of water flowing from the slopes of the hill, wetting the ground constantly. When this came to the attention of the Sentosa Landscape Team, they took the opportunity to transform it into a fresh water pond.
The pond provides a perennial supply of natural water for the irrigation of plants, part of Sentosa's effort to conserve natural resources and reduce the reliance of potable water for irrigation. During the excavation, vegetation which formed part of the coastal forest was left mostly intact, and the rest were carefully conserved.
The pond has since been enlarged and improved, and Siloso Spring has now become one of the main water sources to support plant life for the island. Other than plants, wildlife such as fishes, tortoises, squirrels, birds have also benefited from the spring.
The Siloso Spring took on an even bigger role in 2005 when the nearby Siloso Beach Resort creatively diverted part of the spring water to serve its irrigation needs.
