Hey Friends,

Marina Barrage
The Marina Barrage was officially opened last Friday,
together with the launch of the annual
Clean and Green Singapore.
The new Marina Barrage is a 350-meter wide dam built across
the Marina channel,
forming Singapore’s first reservoir in the city and
our 15th reservoir with a catchment
area of one-sixth the size of Singapore.
The Marina Barrage serves several benefits
such as increasing our water supply
with the Marina Reservoir meeting
more than 10% of our current water demand,
alleviating flooding in the low-lying areas in the city,
and serving as a lifestyle attraction with
recreational activities such as
windsurfing and kayaking.
