Topic: Kranji Reservoir


  
  Kranji - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kranji is named after a local tree, the kranji or keranji (Dialium indicum), which was common in the first half of the nineteenth century but has since rapidly dwindled.
Kranji served as a military camp before the 1939 Japanese invasion, and now is the home of the Kranji War Cemetery and Kranji War Memorial, for the 30,000 British war dead from Singapore, Malaya, Java and Sumatra.
There is also a reservoir in Kranji, known as Kranji Reservoir, formed by the damming of the Kranji River.

The main objective of this study is to appraise the interaction between the aquatic sediment in two tropical reservoirs and the overlying water in simulated laboratory conditions.
Perspex columns were used as reaction chambers to study the effect of dissolved oxygen levels and pH values on sediment nutrient flux over a period of 60 days under controlled conditions.
The concentrations of orthophosphate and total phosphorus in the overlying waters increased significantly in the anoxic chambers for both reservoirs though release rates in Kranji Reservoir sediments were 1.5 to 19.5 times greater than those in MacRitchie Reservoir.

The aim of the project is to effectively reduce the nutrient influx into the reservoir from the storm water drains feeding the reservoir.
This is being archived by using an enhanced wetland which are more than 5 times smaller than conventional wetlands of similar catchments and augmented by the bio reactors which are designed by me. The project recently won the award for the most innovative project in Singapore from the Prime Minister's office.
My task was to use the available data and tune the models and represent the reservoir more accurately.
