PONDING traced to Stamford LongKang now - then will lead to Marina CB Barrage soon!

Stupid PAP scholars are now (extremly slowly) step by step working out their calculations to trace their own faults all the way to the spot where everyone of us already known clearly. The CB is right there! How long more before these idiots would admit it?:*::oIo:

Stamford Canal no longer enough to cope with Orchard Rd floods

SINGAPORE - An expert panel says that Stamford Canal is no longer able to prevent floods in the Orchard Road area, reported The Straits Times.

The panel, set up in June 2011 to look into the flood sutation here, recommended that the government look into ways to store water in the Orchard Road area, either through the use of roof-tops, a water retention pond or storage tanks along the canal's route.

New buildings should have water-retention roofs to aid in preventing floods, said the panel.

They also suggested that a diversion canal could be constructed to bring water elsewhere.

The spate of floods here in the past two years was attributed to more intense rainfall and increased urbanisation.

There is not enough data on Singapore's geography and ground surface conditions, which affect where water goes and how much of it runs above ground, it added.

Head of the panel, professor Chan Eng Soon, says the government would need to create a digital map of the country's landscape and type of ground surface.

A computer model created from the information can then predict where water will go above ground and which areas may be flooded.

The Marina Barrage has always been the ultimate culprit. The pappies, the scholar bureaucrats and the so-called 'experts' were either too proud, or too obtuse to admit it.

Why did unprecedented floods occur in Orchard immediately after the Marina Barrage was in operation?

The Marina Barrage was the idea of Old Fart:

By 1987, the government had successfully completed its ten-year drive to clean up Singapore River and Kallang River. It was at this time that then prime minister Lee Kuan Yew, now minister mentor, mooted the idea of damming up Marina Basin to create a large freshwater lake. However, this was not yet feasible with the existing technology. It was only in 2004 that the government set the wheels in motion by calling a tender for the project. The contract was awarded to local contractor Koh Brothers and construction began in early 2005.

look at it this way, you either bow to malaysia and beg for water or build MB which sometime cause flooding, which is better for PAP?

Marina Barrage will soon be another tourist attraction and wish LKY could live long enough to cut the ribbon there.

It's not begging, but trade.

Secondly, if Singapore's already 'begging' Malaysia for electricity, I don't see what's so shameful about 'begging' for water.

Thirdly, Singapore probably didn't not need another water catchment area if the population hadn't swelled to current unsustainable levels.

Lastly, one of the key touted features of the Marina Barrage was that it could control the floods by letting out excess rainwater. Evidently, that is not working very well. So, what good is it for then?

I thought it is just to keep more fresh water that can be use for drinking, like a reservoir. Not for controlling floods. Just like thailand, they were blame for not letting water out of dam before the big rain.

You are right. It is an dammed up reservoir.

It is also marketed as a place to do water sports, because water level is constant and not affected by currents.
