Marina Barrage,Singapore





night at there


This was the most memorable green trip ever.I went there last year's December.That month was also Singapore's Clean and Green campaign month.I get to watch a mini gallery of pictures and histories of its river at their public library.Photography competitions were held too!
Marina Barrage is actually a government-commissioned dam built across the mouth of Marina Channel to create Singapore's 15th reservoir, Marina Reservoir. Officially opened on 31 October 2008, it separates the water in Marina Basin from the seawater. and it was the subject of an August 2008 episode of Discovery Channel's Man Made Marvels Asia. The barrage is dubbed a three-in-one project as it serves three objectives: create a new source of water supply, act as a tool for flood control, and provide a new lifestyle attraction.


Not only that'it's a eye opener for everyone of us.The quote 'sustainable singapore' is used for its theme gallery.There's all together 6 fascinating and interesting themed-gallery.There's even a solar rooftop,you can watch amazing panorama from the top and even relax and have a hangout with your friends and family.first step i entered,i was amazed at its art.There's this part of a wall made of plastic bottles and another side of the glass wall was very old newspapers.I didn't even noticed!It was fantastic...i was awed~

I gained lots of knowledge.Facts and stories of Singapore river.Of the old generation's hardwork altogether,a disgusting and dirty was renewed into today's clean Singapore River.it shows that its true,when there's a will,there's a way.Its possible to clean such a terrible river.

For the life of the river the main
