The Marina Barrage is a dam built across the Marina Channel. It acts as a tidal barrier that prevents high tides from causing flooding of inland low-lying areas at the same time creates a fresh water reservoir behind it.
It provides three main benefits: Water Supply, Flood Control and a New Lifestyle Attraction.
It is therefore a unique 3-in-1 project.

An educational visit to the Marina Barrage was organised for MDE Students on 17-Dec-2008 afternoon.
