Is Singapore Building Its Noah's ark?

January 15, 2019 - Linkin

Many cities are sinking. According to scientists, Jakarta, is sinking at an astonishing rate of 25cm per year! Singapore is also not spared from a sinking apocalypse. 

The road along Nicoll Changi has been built at an elevated height of 80 cm above sea level to prevent water from coming in. But how long can this keep water at bay from the melting ice? Can we keep elevating our roads and lands to tackle rising sea level?

According to Building and Construction Authority (BCA), we have also pumped sands in bags and piled them into the grounds along our coastlines. 

Combined that with rock slopes, these rock-hard tactics can prevent us from sinking too fast. How sustainable this is is hard to say as according to scientists and researchers, these methods can be costly.

So Singapore is exploring to build “arks”.
