What if the Singapore River doesn't actually begin where the maps say it does? Researchers studying geological and soil maps believe its true source extends further west, near Sungei Ulu Pandan. Their findings also suggest flood alleviation works changed the river's course, reversing the flow in parts of its upper reaches. It's just one example of how Singapore engineered its waterways to tackle floods — transforming the island's rivers in the process. #CNAInsider #CNALostRivers #SingaporeRivers #LostRivers #SingaporeHistory #Waterways #SingaporeHeritage #SingaporeRiver #RochorRiver #KallangRiver #ColonialSingapore #HiddenSingapore #SingaporeGeography #SingaporeDocumentary For more, SUBSCRIBE to CNA INSIDER! https://cna.asia/insideryoutubesub Follow CNA INSIDER on: Telegram: https://t.me/CNAInsiderSG Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cnainsider/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cnainsider/ Website: https://cna.asia/cnainsider
