WHEN Putrajaya was first developed, the Wetland Park was constructed as a natural cleansing method to treat pollutants coming from the upstream areas of the Putrajaya Lake’s catchment.

A lot of effort and money went into developing the area to simulate a natural wetland conditions, acting as the breeding and nursery grounds, as well as housing numerous plants.
