VB lowered the water level of Marina Barage leow

[Glaringly]

I notice this morning the water level of our canal was lowered in anticipation of the heavy rain that did not arrived. But I must applaud VB for taking a sensible move in finding the causes of our flooding problem although this time heaven ignore his engineering approach.

I was cycling along the Kallang river in Macpershon after the drizzzle and for the first time in over a year I was surprise the river is dry, usually it is at least a foot deep. I was curious and cycled to Dokata Creasant to checks the water level at the ovary, low and behold, you can see the visible marking and it was at least 2 feet below the usual.

Let's see whether is this a one time effort or a permananet effort to lower the water level of our rivers.

If this is true then Marina Barrage contributed to floods. And having to keep pumping out 2 feet of water each time it rains kind of defeat the whole purpose.

Given the size of the catchment area, 2 feet of water is heck of a lot of water.

Yeap. Already siad it many time. Revise the water level in MB reduce by 0.5m (500mm) .
Just reduce by 0.5m will have extra more than 1000 times standard olympic swimming pool to store water during raining storm.
