Barrage 'won't affect Orchard'

THE Marina Barrage can prevent flooding only in low-lying areas, and not in places such as Orchard Road, which lies above sea level.

So suggestions that it was somehow responsible for the flooding along Singapore's premier shopping street recently are off-base, national water agency PUB said on Tuesday.

Mr Tan Nguan Sen, PUB's director for catchment and waterways, said: 'Orchard Road is very far upstream and 4m or 5m above sea level, and it cannot be affected by the barrage, which prevents the Marina area from being flooded by keeping out the high tide.'

In response to media queries, he explained that the barrage did not affect the way rain drained into the canals, which are built to slope down towards the Marina Reservoir.

Before the barrier was built, low-lying areas such as Little India were more flood-prone when a high tide coincided with heavy rain.

Mr Tan said the barrage did what it was supposed to do very well last Saturday, when Singapore was lashed by a storm and widespread flash flooding occurred over the central and eastern parts of the island. Without the barrage, things would have been much worse, he said, as the storm occurred just as a high tide was receding.
