Go there to see the stunning Marina Bay Sands casino, ogle the Merlion, shop expensive goodies, and more. I have done all that and it is a blast.

But something most tourists are probably not aware of as they snap selfies with the casino in the background is that they are standing at the edges of Singapore's 15th and largest freshwater reservoir.

In this video, we are going to look at how that came to be. How the Singaporean government dammed the entire Marina Bay. And how their experience might inform other countries trying to beef up their water supply.
