Under the responsibility and supervision of the Public Utilities Board of Singapore (PUB) the Marina Reservoir Scheme has been developed. The Marina Barrage that separates this reservoir from Singapore Straits has been completed in early 2008. Hereafter, the Marina Reservoir will develop as a fresh water basin, from which raw water will be pumped into the Upper Peirce Reservoir. The reservoir provides flood protection during extreme rainfall events. The Marina Reservoir will also have an important function for water-based recreational activities (fishing, sailing, boating, water-skiing, swimming etc.) as well as an aesthetic element in the City of Singapore.
The water quality and sediment quality of the future Marina Reservoir needs to be in agreement with the
requirements connected to these functions. For this reason the Public Utilities Board in Singapore
commissioned Deltares / Delft Hydraulics to map out the transition from a well-flushed estuarine water
system to a freshwater system and to guide the future operational water management of the reservoir. Hereto, a fully integrated and very comprehensive 1D-3D water quality modelling framework has been set-up, calibrated and validated and was used to assess the future water quality and the effectiveness of various mitigating measures.
