The Selangor and federal governments have agreed on five measures to combat flooding in the Klang Valley, according to a joint statement following a meeting between Hannah Yeoh and Amirudin Shari. These measures include assessing the capacity of Batu Dam and Klang Gate Dam, identifying sites for new flood retention ponds, upgrading three ponds, coordinating river dredging and desilting works, and studying the suitability of upstream locations for new ponds.
The technical meeting will determine project locations, scope, estimated costs, funding sources, and implementation methods, with regular monitoring to ensure progress and resolve outstanding issues.
