Marina Barrage

The barrage comprises 9 steel crest gates, each 30m long, built across the 350m wide Marina Channel. Besides separating seawater from freshwater, it also acts as a tidal barrier to keep out high tides. The 5m tall steel gates can be lowered during heavy rain so that water from the reservoir can be released into the sea.

The Sustainable Singapore Gallery is located on the second storey. It is a showcases of Singapore's effort and achievements towards environmentally sustainable development. It is closed on Tuesday.
