marina barrage

The Marina Barrage is a dam built across the mouth of Marina Channel, creating Singapore’s 15th reservoir and the first in the heart of the city. More than just a dam, it serves three crucial purposes: a fresh water supply, flood control, and a lifestyle attraction. It plays a vital role in Singapore's water sustainability efforts. The Green Roof, a sprawling open space atop the barrage, offers stunning panoramic views of the Singapore skyline, including iconic landmarks like the Marina Bay Sands and the Singapore Flyer. It's a popular spot for kite flying, picnics, and enjoying the sunset. The Sustainable Singapore Gallery within the barrage educates visitors on environmental issues and Singapore's green initiatives. The Marina Barrage is a testament to Singapore's innovative spirit and commitment to environmental stewardship. It provides a beautiful and functional space for both recreation and education, making it a favorite destination for families, photographers, and anyone looking to enjoy the city's waterfront.
