Flood Mitigation Project

The Shah Alam City Council (MBSA) started a flood mitigation project last May in an effort to curb flooding at Seksyen 2, Seksyen 3 and Seksyen 4 where the water will be about a meter deep after an hour of heavy downpour.

The flood mitigation project consists of digging a covered monsoon drain from the the junction of Jalan Mawar 2/5 and Jalan Bunga Tanjung 2/16 along Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Secondary School and part of Jalan Bunga Cempaka 2/11 where Rumah Aman is situated and part of Jalan Bunga Kertas 2/15 before cutting across the main road, Persiaran Dato' Menteri before converging with the 5.85 meters deep monsoon drain located under the Shah Alam Wet World Theme Park car park where water will then flow into the Damansara River about 700 meters away from Rumah Aman.

The newly constructed monsoon drain will be about 400 meters long from the junction of Jalan Bunga Mawar 2/5 and Jalan Bunga Tanjung 2/1 to the Wet World car park.

Presently the contractor have dug up a monsoon drain measuring 4.5 meters deep and 2 meters wide from the junction of Jalan Bunga Mawar 2/5 and Jalan Bunga Tanjung 2/16, part of Jalan Bunga Cempaka 2/11 and part of Jalan Bunga Kertas 2/15.

The project is scheduled to be completed by the first week of August. We hope the flood mitigation project will be a success.
