Positive Impacts of Man on Jurong Lake Park:
Recycling bins are placed at obvious places for park users to throw away recyclable items. They are grouped by "cans", "plastic" and "paper" so that park users can throw them away according to their classified group.
Negative Impacts of man on Jurong Lake Park:
Litters such as plastic bottles, plastic bags, food wrappers and styrofoams are found at Jurong Lake Park. Park users have been littering Jurong Lake Park instead of throwing them away at appropriate bins. They should not litter the as it is harming the environment of Jurong Lake Park. Plastic bottles, plastic bags and styrofoam are not biodegradable and are not able to decompose, thus, it will harm the environment.
Too much fishing can cause harm to the lakes as the water level may decrease and there will be exposed shorelines. The populations of fishes will decrease thus causing harm to the ecosystem as the food chains may be affected.
There are dead fishes found in the lakes. Flies are feeding on the dead fish and aiding decompostion. Fishermen throw the fishes they do not want into back into the lakes and this is how decomposition starts. The smell of the decomposing dead fish is also very revolting.
The constuction works has its pros and cons. The pros are that they are able to upgrade the facilities of the park and the park users are able to use better facilities in the park. This will help to attract more visitors to the park. The cons are that construction work may cause air pollution and air pollution may harm the environment to the park and cause global warming.
