Kuala Lumpur Flood Mitigation System, Malaysia
Malaysia is progressing and developing rapidly. Intense development programs and implementations in various sectors i.e. agriculture, education, infrastructure, economy, industrial, tourism, are taking place in steering Malaysia towards a fully developed nation by the year 2020.
Frequent flooding in Malaysia has been seen as a potential threat that may disrupt the achievement of a fully developed nation by the year 2020. The National Register of River Basins Study (2003) indicated that more than 29,800km2 (9% of total land area) involving a population of 4.82 million are affected by floods. Kuala Lumpur Floor Mitigation is a project to mitigate flash floods from Gombak River into a few stormwater ponds located in Batu, Jinjang and Kepong. The SMART Tunnel (Stormwater Management and Road Tunnel) functions as an innovative solution to mitigating both traffic congestion and flooding. It is a submerged tunnel which can carry both vehicular traffic as well as storm runoff on a lower level. When regular drainage infrastructure is overwhelmed, vehicles are evacuated from the tunnel and the entire tube is used as a gigantic storm drain to prevent Kuala Lumpur from flooding. It diverts water flow from the Kampung Berembang Lake, near Klang River, to Taman Desa Lake, which is near Kerayong River (one of Klang River's tributaries). Water flow can also go the opposite direction, from Kerayong River to Klang River. SMART opened in May of 2007.
