Abstract:
Klang Valley, Selangor and neighboring countries by MetMalaysia in March 2022, it
has been raining continuously for four days and has caused flooding. Water locks are
one of the methods used to reduce flood rates. A sluice gate is a mechanism used to
control water flow. These devices are often used in water treatment plants, mining,
dams, rice fields, and cranberry bogs, among other places. We use a qualitative
approach which is an interview conducted with one of the JPS staff through personal
interaction. While the quantitative is through site survey and measurement of the
required data. The geographical situation in Taman Sri Muda is caused by silt and
vegetation. has raised the level of the river channel and banks leaving the inside of
the bank lower and lying down over time creating a non-flowing bowl. In addition,
Taman Sri Muda now stands as one of the densest and overdeveloped areas in the
Selangor Kota Kemuning State Assembly area with over 9000 houses and
apartments. The result we reached is the function of the water gate where during flood
the Tidal Control Gate(TCG) is closed due to hydraulic pressure. Therefore, the TCG
water pump is activated to let the excess water flow out. Next, the rainfall pattern
collected by the Meteorological Department shows an uneven distribution due to
climate change. In addition, the peak discharge was calculated using MSMA 2nd
Edition 2012. In conclusion, this study is to achieve a better understanding of the
factors that cause flooding, rainfall patterns and the function of sluice gates in Taman
Sri Muda, Shah Alam. The general public must play an important role in taking care of
the environment to avoid clogging channels. Knowledge about water locks also needs
to be disclosed so that they don't blame each other and the city management when
there is a flood. Finally, the city management from all aspects needs to upgrade the
management of Taman Sri Muda according to the current state of development.
