Project Description
Overspill of flood water from Sg. Muda can cause flooding to Sg Kereh left and right banks |
||
Gentle hydraulic gradient and long river make it difficult to discharge flood water |
||
Prevention of flood water from Sg. Muda entering this area is crucial |
||
Project Benefits
Flood protection bund prevents over-topping at Sg. Kereh and hence reduces the possibility of flooding to properties along both sides of the river bank |
||
Slope revetment using Sandfilled Mattress enhances the river bank stability while river widening improves flow efficiency |
