Abstract
Singapore is an island state with important centres of population, industries, commerce, ports and airports concentrated in its coastal areas of less than 2 m in elevation. Although tidal records for almost 20 yr do not show any increase in sea level, this paper considers and examines the possible impact of a sea level rise of one metre in Singapore. To date, the government has not announced any project relating to sea level rise. Specific research needs are difficult to forecast but are likely to be in three areas: coastal protection measures; and the developed or populated areas and reclaimed land; anti-salt intrusion measures for coastal reservoirs: and flood-prevention measures for major canals.
