The project analyses historic data on Sea Level Anomalies (SLA) asdetermined from satellite altimeter and assesses its correlation with(residual) currents. Hydrodynamic modelling is tailored for the area,focusing on using near real time SLA maps to forecast (surface)currents. Both data driven techniques / hybrid modelling and Kalmanfiltering are elaborated and applied to extend the forecast horizon andincrease the forecast quality. The final step is the integration andthe analysis of potential model reduction, to enhance operationalefficiency. |

The research approach for the Pandan project involves knowledge creation through a suite of modelling tools and data collection in the lab and field, after which results are integrated to define urban water management strategies. A Centre for Aquatic Science Research along the Pandan Canal will be completed by mid-2010 to study fundamental processes and interaction in urban water management. |

The Dredging and Infrastructure Development near Critical Marine Ecosystems project focuses on the ecological effects of turbidity and sedimentation on coral reefs and seagrass meadows. It aims to improve understanding of the natural dynamics of critical marine ecosystems in tropical coastal waters in response to environmental variability in turbidity and sedimentation. |

The project 'Large Scale Sediment Transport and Turbidity in Singapore's Coastal Waters' aims to determine the processes responsible for the increased turbidity by identification of a sediment budget of the Singapore coastal waters, including the main sources and sinks (and the changes thereof) and of the dominant sediment transport mechanisms. |

The Peatland Water, Carbon and Ecosystems Management Research Programme aims to support large-scale implementation of mitigative water management and improved spatial planning of production and conservation areas in peatlands. This is done through five work packages focusing on soil and carbon emissions, ecology and biodiversity, land use change monitoring and fire risk forecasting, peatland (river) hydrology and the development of a knowledge base and training programme. |

The project 'Relating Ecosystem Functioning and Ecosystem Services by Mangroves: a Case Study on Sediment Dynamics' focuses on the ecological effects of turbidity and sedimentation on coral reefs and seagrass meadows. It aims to improve understanding of the natural dynamics of critical marine ecosystems in tropical coastal waters in response to environmental variability in turbidity and sedimentation. |

The SDWA Upper Peirce research programme is focussed on gaining better insights into the hydrological, hydrodynamic, chemical, biological and biochemical processes of tropical reservoirs through experimental work, modelling, and advanced and innovative monitoring. In this program the Upper Peirce reservoir will be used as a natural research laboratory for detailed water quality monitoring and modelling. This will give a better understanding of how various hydrodynamic and water quality processes influence the overall water quality status of tropical systems. |
