Marina Barrage
Overview
Marina Barrage is a realization of a vision twenty years ago. It is built across the mouth Marina Channel, creating Singapore's 15 reservoir and boosting Singapore's water supply. It has become a hot spot for recreational activities.
The idea was first started nearly 20 years ago, when the then Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew envisioned damming the Marina Channel to create a freshwater reservoir. And so created Marina Barrage.
