Marina Barrage


Marina Barrage is the 15th reservoir in Singapore and is also the first one in the heart of the city. This catchment area is the island’s largest and most urbanised catchment. The Marina Reservoir will boost Singapore’s water catchment to two-thirds of the land area together with the Punggol and Serangoon reservoirs. Marina Barrage aims to help Singapore become self-sufficient in water with supplies from imported water, Newater and desalinated by 2061 when the water agreement with Malaysia ends. Currently, we are consuming 1.36 billion litres of water a day which is equivalent to 500 Olympic-size swimming pool.
Marina Barrage is a part of the flood control scheme to address the existing flooding in the low-lying areas of the city. With the Barrage and other flood-alleviation projects, flood-prone areas in Singapore will be further reduced from the current 150 ha to 85 ha, down from 3200 ha in the 1970s.
In addition, Marina Barrage will enhance Singapore's water supply in line with Singapore's Four National Taps water supply strategy to diversify its water sources (The 4 National Taps are: local catchment, reclaimed water, desalted water and imported water. With this Project, about 60 per cent of Singapore will become catchment area.
