Western Water Catchment (Malay: Kawasan Tadahan Air Barat; Simplified Chinese: 西部集水区, Traditional Chinese: 西部集水區, Pinyin: Xībù Jíshuǐqū; Tamil: மேற்கத்திய நீர் நீர்ப்பிடிப்பு) is a planning area in the West Region of
Singapore. Covering 69.46 square meters, it is by far the largest planning area in the island nation. It is bordered by
Lim Chu Kang and
Sungei Kadut in the northeast,
Choa Chu Kang,
Tengah and
Jurong West in the east,
Pioneer in the south and
Tuas in the southwest. It also faces the
Straits of Johor, across from the
Malaysian state of Johor in the northeast.
The Western Water Catchment is home to four reservoirs namely the Tengeh Reservoir, Poyan Reservoir, Murai Reservoir and Sarimbun Reservoir. The Singapore Armed Forces also uses this area for live-firing, so access is restricted to members of the public.
