Singapore has limited land for water catchment, but PUB has put in place a network that allows capture rainwater from half of the country’s land area, which will increase to two thirds by this year with the completion of two reservoir schemes. However, we will tell you about one of the two reservoir schemes.
Marina Water Barrage
The Marina Water Barrage is Singapore's 15th resevoir, and it is the first in the heart of the city. It has a catchment of 10000 hectares, equivalent to one sixth the size of Singapore. Its benefits include meeting 10% of Singapore's Water Supply, along with flood control, and, being the largest reservoir, it attracts a lot of tourists.
