Category : news
 | "Two more dams in the pipeline - PUB studies Punggol and Serangoon rivers." By Jose Raymond, Today, 02 Oct 2004: p. 2 [pdf]
Excerpts - "PUB has already begun an in-depth study into the damming up of two rivers - Sungei Punggol and Sungei Serangoon. Environmentalists revealed that plans are also underway to dam up three other rivers - Sungei Khatib Bongsu, Sungei Simpang Kiri and the Sungei Seletar."
"A PUB spokesman said: "Various studies are in progress and are expected to be completed in 2005. Under the scheme, Sungei Punggol and Sungei Serangoon are expected to be converted to reservoirs by 2009."" |
"Mr Eric Low, the chief executive officer of the Marina Country Club and Resorts - the former Punggol Marina - dismissed suggestions that the area will become dead once the two rivers are dammed up."
