May have to find immediate safe ground when sea levels rise?

See, levels cld rise by abt 20 cm to 60 cm.

Mangroves in North and West, offshore coral reefs cld be submerged, erosion of beaches in south-east, west (*), north, cliff and slopes on north and west coasts and leave pools of water in low areas Note areas near Marina Barrage, Spore River, Ind rgn in the west, Changi Airport, East Coast Park.
Seletar, Kranji, Sarimbun will be affected (were damned estuaries turned in2 reservoirs, and salt water could enter, which will take 2 yrs 2 clear).

Note Tidal Gates, Docks, Pumping Sistems. (Refer Tropical Marine Sc Inst)

Delft Hyraulics of Netherlands (classic story everyone knows) will be assisting.

+ 1 to 2 degrees celsius rise in temp cld cause diseases such as Dengue, caused by Aedes Aegypti, to rise in number, around July. Near beaches, corals, when they throw out algae xoozanthellae, will appear bleached (similar to '98 El Nino when sea temp rise by 4 c)


'1994

Feb 9 :

Feb 2nd week, who in the whole wide world (w.www.incon) had incontinence usually shooting to (1.0 less tide less 2.5) m? Cannot control high tide? Singapore found its firemen who can shoot 3.9 m ...

Spore's Nicoll Drive (mysteriously) flood by seawater 1m high at Changi Beach, yet without rain.

Quays Boat & Collyer submerged.


(*) (beware Sumatra Squalls or Screams ... of Ghosts?, during thunderstorm around Jun to Sep, generating waves > usual 1 m)
