    Jury STATEMENT

    Marina Barrage is a dam

    that creates a freshwater


    lake in the heart of

    Singapore, forming a
    reservoir for drinking water,

    a tidal barrier to prevent

    flooding in low-lying areas,


    and a water-recreation
    venue. The development—

    part municipal project,


    part educational facility—
    exemplifies Singapore’s

    approach to sustainable
    water management,
    collecting rainwater runoff

    from approximately one-

    sixth of the city-state’s area.

    ."3*/"#"33"(&, Singapore Bridging the


    mouth of the Marina Channel, Marina Barrage creates
    Singapore’s 15th freshwater reservoir and its first in the
    heart of the city. Designed and developed by the Public
    Utilities Board (PUB), Singapore’s national water agency, the
    barrage and reservoir stand as an international model for
    urbanized areas.
