Wouldn't discharging water from the storage reservoir at Taman Desa into Sg Kerayong causes flooding down stream?
The system works on principle of efficient monitoring. River monitoring instruments will be installed at the upstream of Sg Ampang and Sg Klang and Sg Kerayong at the downstream. As this system has a storage capacity of 3 million cubic meters, the diversion and release will be regulated according to the river capacity downstream. The capacity constraint at Sg Kerayong is incorporated into the system. Flooding downstream is thus not possible.
