The Marina Barrage is a 350-meter wide dam built across the Marina channel, forming Singapores first reservoir in the city and its 15th reservoir.
The Marina Barrage serves several benefits such as increasing water supply with the Marina Reservoir meeting more than 10% of Singapore's 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.
