Managing Floods In Singapore | Our Water Journey

“Monsoon Season” and “Flash Floods” - these are some terms you’ve probably come across the last few weeks. But what exactly are flash floods and how do we manage them?
We answer these questions in the second episode of Our Water Journey, where we take a look at Singapore’s flood management over the years.
What else would you like to know about how Singapore manages floods? Share your thoughts with us!

Love this series!! Very interesting to understand the process behind managing our waters

[@adidesgidsonsimanjuntak8195]

A lot of effort you put to make this video, thank you

[@paecpc]

Now in my 50s, when I was young, I remember there were lots of flooding, especially along Bukit Timah area, once I was stuck inside an SBS bus from morning till afternoon around that area as the bus couldn’t pass through the high level water.

[@vedantganesh6923]

SBS: Si Bei Slow. Delaying commutes since god-knows-when

[@lompanglompang8606]

PUB : keep up your good work 👍👍💪💪

[@RAM-km8bx]

It's God's gift for us lor
More rain more water to purify and drink

[@jrukawa11]

Mr Tan is a "R" heavy user

[@pepethefrog3651]

HAHAHAHAHA

[@greenpeace1671]

Simple solution. Just change your citizen to china, india, nepal or rusia that are not an iceland or peninsula and live there in peace. It's predictable that no more ASEAN countries in the world map in 2050. Save your life now before it is too late and no more country can accept you as a citizen. Just let the stupid people to live in ASEAN!......

[@ivykkb2975]

Understood !!! About the flood - thanks!!!

[@mayuboeb]

So cool!!!!

[@emptyangel]

We must keep this water for us to drink!

[@dayylogg9716]

We can bore multiple deep tunnels and reservoirs under the seabed link to an offshore island to store or drain away flood water. The vent holes and pumping station can be located at the offshore island to continuously pump the excess flood water out into the sea.

'Its quite hot. The sky is sweating'.
This guy....

[@bnatbox]

let's do our part to keep drain clean

[@choongjiancheong8923]

Very good video

[@lilianr513]

Interesting!!!

[@bowlampar]

Limited land space for drainage expansion, going deeper into the earth is the only way to avoid flooding. When you can't go horizontal , might well try vertical. 😘😘

[@jrukawa11]

Question: Who cleans the detention tank?

[@boyan619]

In singapura where got floods only got pondings

[@ridinglikearussian5945]

La nina effect+negative indian ocean dipole(now)=unusually high rainfall

[@cosmos8300]

I came here for how water goes to our taps for my Geographical Investigation but landed here lmao

[@ok2713]

For the 1st time saya tau singapur banjir 😯 . I thought singapore was the safe country (has no problem with nature)

[@ivykkb2975]

QA - why the flood recently! ? - what causes the flood !?

[@weixiongchng7629]

lmao i am here for the RUclips algorithm :))) 3/1/2021 ~

[@grumpycyclist6543]

HDB was the solution. Flooding still occur these days. Drains only address a small percentage of the issue. The governnent should harness the rain water for use as drinking water rather than buying from Malaysia.

[@naanyangdiaries]

all drains direct rainwater to flow towards reservoirs for potable consumption, this was mentioned in the video

[@travolasg321]

June 23th anyone else birthday?

[@jeremyemilio9378]

Keep voting PAP this is what you'll get

[@Blacksmith303]

Dig to decrease the flood. Not to make money

[@jeremyemilio9378]

That PUB guy can't even speak English properly

[@atengku9660]

Must speak like white people only then 'properly'? Even white people also not all British or American. Other white people also got accent. So?

[@user-jc5zr5ir4i]

Shut up, when they have no solution they blame it no amount of engineering can solve it. No wonder still only a senior engineer after 40yrs

[@charlielee3435]

Pls refer to 23 Mar 2010 news, our Singapore Founding Father, Mr. Lee Kuan Yew mentioned that " No amount of engineering can prevent flooding" ruclips.net/video/Uq8lweli2YY/видео.html
