Explaining the relevance of the method in Singapore context

Land reclamation through Landfill and draining swamps:

Singapore also has to overcome the constraints of limited land space. Large-scale land reclamation by landfill has been carried out in different parts of Singapore since the 1960s. Swamps along the Singapore River were filled to provide land for early settlers.

Besides reclaiming land by filling in the swamps, Singapore also reclaimed land from the sea using the landfill method, for example, Marina City and Pulau Semakau. Dykes must be constructed in shallow parts of the sea to prevent the seawater from entering the area to be reclaimed. The area is then filled with sand, rock or soil. The sand can be obtained from the seabed or imported from other countries, while the rocks and soil can be obtained from the hills nearby.
