Abstract:

The Sungei Seletar, an arm of a saline tidal estuary surrounding the Island Republic of Singapore, has been dammed for conversion to a freshwater reservoir. Calculations for predicting the rate of desalination by through-flow purging are presented, as are salinity measurements taken to date. The essentials of the floodgate system, and how they may minimize saltwater intrusion, are discussed briefly. (Author abstract. )
