The
Singapore River is a
river in
Singapore that flows from the
Central Area, which lies in the
Central Region in the southern part of
Singapore before emptying into the
ocean. The immediate upper
watershed of the Singapore River is known as the Singapore River Planning Area, although the northernmost part of the watershed becomes
River Valley. As the Central Area is treated as a
central business district, nearly all land surrounding it is commercial. It is one of about 40 rivers in Singapore and its islands.
