Projects
SDWA's research projects are interdisciplinary. The major ongoing research projects are:
- MHBox: This project focuses on understanding and developing a pre-operational forecasting system for residual currents and water levels.
- Peatland: Peatlands store a large fraction of the world's carbon resources. However the most rapid peatland degradation currently occurs in Southeast Asia. The aims of this project are to support large-scale implementation of mitigative water management and improved spatial planning of production and conservation areas in peatlands.
- Pandan project aims to understand the fundamental processes and interactions in an urban water system to be able to develop adequate and cost-effective water improvement measures through the creation of an Aquatic Science Center in Pandan Canal
- Mangrove Project
- Seagrass Project
- Sediment Project
- Upper Peirce
- Multiple Reservoir

Famous quotes containing the word projects:
“But look what we have built ... low-income projects that become worse centers of delinquency, vandalism and general social hopelessness than the slums they were supposed to replace.... Cultural centers that are unable to support a good bookstore. Civic centers that are avoided by everyone but bums.... Promenades that go from no place to nowhere and have no promenaders. Expressways that eviscerate great cities. This is not the rebuilding of cities. This is the sacking of cities.”
—Jane Jacobs (b. 1916)
“One of the things that is most striking about the young generation is that they never talk about their own futures, there are no futures for this generation, not any of them and so naturally they never think of them. It is very striking, they do not live in the present they just live, as well as they can, and they do not plan. It is extraordinary that whole populations have no projects for a future, none at all.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
