Drainage Management & Flood Control |
|
Singapore is divided into 3 watershed management catchments for effective drainage management and control. Each catchment is managed by a catchment management team responsible for planning and implementing control strategies to achieve effective drainage within the respective catchment areas. The main functions of the catchment team are as follows :
- develop drainage control plan for the catchment;
- safeguard land for existing and future drainage systems;
- control platform levels of new land developments;
- identify and implement new drainage schemes;
- monitor and maintain drainage records;
- advise developers/public on drainage matters; and
- carry out flood investigations and site surveillance.
