What happened
PUB completed upgrades to the entire 2.3km Upper Bukit Timah Canal in Singapore. The project, which cost approximately S$60 million, increased the canal's capacity to carry stormwater by 30%. PUB also announced plans to study longer-term flood mitigation measures for the wider Bukit Timah catchment.

Why it matters
The enhanced drainage capacity benefits a 1,000-hectare catchment area that includes residential and commercial developments and key transport nodes. The planned study into underground detention structures addresses long-term flood risk in this flood-prone area.
