Sungai Klang originates from the Main Range of Peninsular Malaysia and runs westward towards the Straits of Melaka passing through the most developed region in Malaysia. It measures approximately 120 km long with a total catchment area of about 1,297.6 km2. Sungai Klang major tributaries include Sg. Batu and Sg. Gombak which flows through Kuala Lumpur, as well as other tributaries, namely Sg. Ampang, Sg. Jinjang, Sg. Kerayong, Sg. Kuyuh, Sg. Penchala dan Sg. Damansara. Figure 1.1 shows the location of the Sungai Klang catchment, rivers and existing dams.


Figure 1.1 Klang River Basin


The Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur is situated at the middle section of Sungai Klang basin while the upper and lower areas fall within Selangor state. Sungai Klang basin also covers a small area of Putrajaya, located at the South-West area. The whole study area consists of about 0.4% area of Putrajaya, 18.1% area of Kuala Lumpur and 81.5% of Selangor area. Figure 1.2 shows the boundary of the study area which includes the physical river basins boundary and the additional Tasik Subang Dam catchment area of 9.7 km2 according to the project TOR.

Figure 1.2 Study area


Sungai Klang basin covers the districts of Kuala Lumpur, Petaling, Klang, Gombak and Sepang (Figure 1.3 at Basin Land Use tab). The major towns and cities are Selayang, Ampang Jaya, Kuala Lumpur, Petaling Jaya, Subang Jaya, Shah Alam and Klang. The upper basin is under the jurisdiction of Majlis Perbandaran Ampang Jaya (MPAJ) and Majlis Perbandaran Selayang (MPS). While the lower basin is under the jurisdiction of four (4) main local councils of Majlis Bandaraya Petaling Jaya (MBPJ), Majlis Perbandaran Subang Jaya (MPSJ), Majlis Bandaraya Shah Alam (MBSA) and Majlis Perbandaran Klang (MPK) (Figure 1.4 at Basin Land Use tab).

Sungai Klang basin is the most developed area in the country. The basin is highly developed with urbanized land use except some pockets of green areas and the upper basin which is used as the basin water catchment.


Figure 1.3 and Figure 1.4 show Sungai Klang basin land use in year 2020 and the land use zoning in year 2035, respectively. Analysis based on projected land use changes between year 2019 and 2015 (Table 1.1) shows residential, commercial, industrial, institutional, infrastructures and transportation land use are expected to increase at 10% or more due to continued urbanization at the expense of mixed development, vacant land and water bodies.

Figure 1.9 shows the distribution of river systems and dams in Sg. Klang basin. The upper which is mainly forested steep lands has two dams: Klang Gates dam and Batu dam. Both dams are used for flood mitigation and water supply purposes, primarily to Kuala Lumpur and the upper basin Selangor districts. Klang Gate dam is situated 15 km Northeast of Kuala Lumpur and Batu dam is located 16 km North of Kuala Lumpur city. Tasik Subang dam has a relatively small catchment area located in close proximity to Sg. Klang basin. It serves as direct water sources for areas surrounding the lower Klang area, including service areas outside of Sg. Klang basin. Details of the dams are summarized in Table 1.2.

Malaysia had suffered series of drought events and the most recent ones are that of in year 1998, 2014 and 2016. These three (3) drought events cover almost the whole nation. There are other smaller scale episodes that only happen in smaller regions of the country. Table 2.1 summarized the recorded minimum dam water level for Klang Gates Dam, Batu Dam and Tasik Subang Dam from year 2013 to 2018. The water crisis has been a very expensive affair in many aspects.

Table 2.1 Minimum recorded dam water level (Year 2013 to 2018)


The main water demand in Sg. Klang basin is potable water. There is no irrigation need, whereas the demand for non-paddy crop and livestock is relatively small. Fishery water demand is non-consumptive and negligible.

Potable water demand projection is derived based on the per capita consumption (PCC) and non-revenue water (NRW) selected in Table 2.2. The projection is in good agreement with published values by Air Selangor and RSN Selangor (Table 2.3).

Table 2.6 shows the annual water balance assessment for Sungai Klang basin based on MIKE HYDRO Basin model simulation with historical record inputs from year 2009 to 2018.

The annual average water utilization to the existing water treatment plants is 129 MCM, which includes 105 MCM (81.3%) direct supply from Batu Dam and Klang Gates Dams, and 24 MCM (18.6%) abstracted from rivers. The residual of 1448 MCM after considering the water utilization flows out to the sea as illustrated in Figure 2.10.

Table 2.7 shows the monthly water balance assessment for Sungai Klang basin from year 2009 to 2018. In comparison, during the drought year 2016, lower rainfall is observed from February to April and August to November.

Four (4) key strategic actions are recommended for the Water Resource Conservation Plan (WRCP) are:

Setting up urban growth boundaries
Promoting infill and brownfield development
Compact urban growth
Increasing and enhancing public green open spaces and parks

Implementation of green environmental design
Implementing water sensitive urban design (WSUD) and development
Establishing public awareness and outreach program

Adopting and implementing the guidelines and frameworks of Environmentally Sensitive Areas (ESAs)
No more forest land excision
Reforesting and rehabilitating idle and vacant lands

Preserving and conserving sub-catchments
Protecting the riverbanks
Improving and maintaining water quality
Flood mitigation
Inter-agency collaboration towards a holistic WRCM

Water abstractions result in the alteration and reduction of total flow in the river. This poses risks that pollutants cannot be diluted to safe levels and dispersed effectively. Severe water quality impairment can affect the ecological and hydrological functions of the river. The environmental flow is the minimum amount of water needed to balance the ecosystem services of river flow. The assimilative capacity of the river is simulated using MIKE ECO Lab based on the Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) approach (Figure 3.1).


Figure 3.1 MIKE ECO Lab simulation work flow

Water quality target is assigned to each river segment based on the water quality standard and criteria for the respective beneficial use (Table 3.1) of the river water. The target setting also takes in consideration for water quality required for river rehabilitation and conservation plans.


Class Beneficial use
Class I Conservation of natural environment
Water Supply I - Practically no treatment necessary
Fishery I - Very sensitive aquatic species
Class IIA Water Supply II - Conventional treatment required
Fishery II - Sensitive aquatic species
Class IIB Recreational use with body contact
Class III Water supply III - Extensive treatment required
Fishery III - Common, of economic value and tolerant species; livestock drinking
Class IV Irrigation
Class V None of the above

Coastal

Background

Increased coastal erosion problems in the shores of Malaysia have threatened local human life as well as cause damages to property and land. Realising this matter, the Government conducted the Coastal Erosion Study in 1984. Results from the Study suggested two level action plan comprise of short and long term action to overcome this problem. To ensure these strategies are carried out effectively, the government have set up a Technical Coastal Engineering Center in the Department of Irrigation and Drainage since 1st Januari 1987.
