SINGAPORE – Heavy rains resulted in a flash flood in Bukit Timah Road on the afternoon of Nov 16, amid a downpour in several parts of Singapore.
National water agency PUB said in a Facebook post that the flash flood was caused by high water levels in the adjacent drains and Bukit Timah Canal.
It said: “PUB deployed our Quick Response Team to direct traffic away from floodwaters. The flash flood subsided at 3.30pm.”
It added that there are ongoing works to widen and deepen a 900m stretch of Bukit Timah Canal - from Rifle Range Road to Jalan Kampong Chantek - as a long-term measure to enhance flood protection in the area.
The works are expected to be completed by 2026.
PUB earlier issued flash flood warnings for 10 places, urging people to avoid these areas amid heavy downpour. It added that heavy rain was expected over northern, western and central areas of Singapore from 2.50pm to 3.50pm.
The list of places at risk of flash floods were:

• Tampines Expressway (Punggol West Flyover)
• Junction of Neo Pee Teck Lane and Pasir Panjang Road
• Jalan Boon Lay (Enterprise Road to International Road)
• Bukit Timah Road (Wilby Road to Blackmore Drive)
• Junction of Sunset Drive and Sunset Way
• Junction of Sunset Drive and Sunset Terrace
• Junction of Lor Kismis and Toh Tuck Rise
• Eng Kong Place (Greenridge Crescent to Eng Kong Garden)
• Kranji Expressway Slip Road (Kranji Expressway to Woodlands Road, towards Senja Way)
• Dunearn Road (Yarwood Avenue to Binjai Park)

In its Facebook post, PUB said the heaviest rainfall on Nov 16 - 108.4mm - was recorded in north-western Singapore from 2.10pm to 4pm.
“This amount corresponds to 43 per cent of Singapore’s average monthly rainfall in November and lies within the top 3 per cent of maximum daily rainfall records since 1978,” it said.

Not flooding but draining: Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park functioning as planned amid high water levels

In the event of a storm, the park area doubles up as a conveyance channel, carrying the rainwater downstream gradually.

SINGAPORE - Photos of high water levels in the Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park have caused some netizens to assume it is flooded, but the park is functioning exactly as intended - with a canal that channels rainwater downstream.

The spike in the water levels comes from torrential rain over the past few days, but this is part of the normal functioning of the park's waterway. A stream running through the park is part of the Kallang River, but is also a naturalised canal designed to accommodate "fluctuating water levels" which may rise as high as 3m.

According to information on the National Parks Board (NParks) website, there are safety features visible in the park to ensure that members of the public are aware of impending high water levels.

"A river monitoring system with water level sensors is in place to provide early warning in the event of impending heavy rain or rising water levels. Warning signs, red makers, life buoys and CCTVs have also been put up along the river," says the website.

The redevelopment of the waterway from 2009 to 2012 was a joint collaboration between national water agency PUB and NParks under the Active, Beautiful, Clean (ABC) Waters Programme.

According to the PUB website, the river channel was designed based on a floodplain concept and is linked to a network of drains in the city. A floodplain is an area of land adjacent to a stream or a river which fills with water during periods of high discharge.

During dry weather, the flow of water is confined to a narrow stream in the middle of the river.

In the event of a storm, the adjacent park area doubles up as a conveyance channel, carrying the rainwater downstream gradually.

The naturalisation of the Kallang River serves both functional and aesthetic purposes.


"Under the ABC Waters Programme, a combination of plants, natural materials such as rocks, and civil engineering techniques were introduced to soften the edges of the waterway, give it a natural appearance and prevent soil erosion," says the PUB website.
