ok... here... share with u some info about the Marina Barrage:
The Marina Barrage is a dam in Singapore built across the Marina Channel between the reclaimed lands of Marina East and Marina South. It was officially opened on 1st of Nov 2008. The S$226 million project turns Marina Bay and Kallang Basin into a new downtown ffresh waterMarina Reservoir. It provides 3 in 1 benefits - water supply, flood control and a new lifestyle attraction. This structure will provide flood control by changing the tide flow into the barrage.
The Barrage consists of nine crest gates which block out the tides Each is 28 meters tall. Several large capacity low head propeller pumps are installed in the barrage capable of pumping out excess water from the man made reservoir.Each Pump has a capacity of 40m3/s. This would translate into about the volume of an Olympics-size swimming pool per minute.
