Marina Barrage

On a fully urbanised island the size of Singapore, water scarcity is a dire issue. The solution is the construction of an urban reservoir, the first of its kind in the world. Together with cutting edge technology, Singapore is on its way to water sufficiency, just like how the city of Constantinople had the foresight to build massive underground cisterns in the 6th century to become one of the greatest cities in the ancient world.
