As you cruise past Clarke Quay, Boat Quay, and Marina Bay, enjoy spectacular city views while gaining insight into the river's role within Singapore's modern reservoir system.

Discover how they support Singapore's broader goals of water conservation, energy efficiency, and climate resilience while showcasing the seamless integration of nature and technology.
The tour continues to Marina Barrage, a milestone project in Singapore's integrated water management strategy. Learn how this engineering marvel serves three key functions: providing a freshwater source through the Marina Reservoir, protecting the city from flooding, and creating a vibrant recreational space for residents and visitors alike.

Through engaging displays, gain a deeper understanding of Singapore's forward-thinking approach to resource management and urban planning.
