Flood Prone Areas and Hotspots

Flood prone areas are those areas which are low-lying, with a history of flooding. Hotspots, on the other hand, are areas which are not low-lying but had experienced flash flood.

With an ongoing drainage improvement programme, PUB has reduced flood prone areas in Singapore from about 3,200 hectares in the 1970s to 49 hectares today. With continuous drainage improvement works, this will be further reduced to 40 hectares in 2013. Click here for a list of the ongoing drainage improvement works.
