Singapore River- Past and Present

Past
The Singapore River was where the old Port of SIngapore was, originally, as i twas sheltered naturally by the islands at the south. The city of Singapore grew around the Singapore river mouth, and it became the city of trade, commerce and finance.
Present
It is now part of the Marina Reservoir to create a new reservoir of freshwater. It currently empties into Marina Bay, instead of the sea. The port of Singapore was shifted to the west side of the island.
