DID: SMART would have averted floods
KUALA LUMPUR, Jun 12 - Had it been ready, the RM1.9bil Stormwater Management and Road Tunnel Project (SMART) would have prevented Sunday’s floods that inundated the city centre.
Drainage and Irrigation Department deputy director Ahmad Fuad said the floods around Dataran Merdeka and Masid Jamek were caused by Sungai Kelang bursting its banks at the confluence of Sungai Gombak.
“A storm which causes the river to overflow – that is exactly what the SMART flood tunnel is being built to overcome,” he said at a press conference organised by Kuala Lumpur City Hall here yesterday.
Ahmad said had the tunnel been operational, it would have been used to divert 95% of the water in Sungai Kelang to a lake in Sungai Besi and prevented the flood.
Manakala UtusanOnline melaporkan:Jangan harapkan SMART - Terowong dwifungsi itu tidak dapat atasi sepenuhnya banjir di KL
Ketua Pengarah Jabatan Pengairan dan Saliran (JPS), Datuk Paduka Ir. Keizrul Abdullah berkata, projek SMART hanya mengalirkan air banjir dari Sungai Klang ke Sungai Kerayong untuk disimpan di kolam khas, tetapi ia tidak dapat mengatasi masalah lebihan air ketika hujan lebat di Sungai Gombak.
Katanya, untuk mengatasi secara komprehensif masalah banjir di bandar raya Kuala Lumpur, projek kawalan banjir yang menyeluruh sebagaimana yang dirancang di bawah Program Tebatan Banjir Lembah Sungai Klang perlu dilaksanakan bersama.
‘‘Projek-projek tersebut telah bermula sejak beberapa tahun lalu dan ia dijangka siap satu persatu antara hujung bulan ini sehingga pertengahan 2009.
‘‘Bagaimanapun, berikutan arahan Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, JPS akan mempercepatkan pelaksanaan projek-projek itu,” katanya kepada Utusan Malaysia ketika dihubungi hari ini.
Dalam reaksinya terhadap kejadian banjir kilat di Kuala Lumpur malam tadi yang menimbulkan kemarahan warga kota, Keizrul membetulkan tanggapan sesetengah pihak yang berpendapat projek terowong SMART berharga RM1.9 bilion sepatutnya dapat memastikan banjir kilat tidak berlaku lagi di ibu negara.

Banjir, muara sungai terlalu kecil - MB Johor

Apabila hujan lebat turun tanpa berhenti dan air melimpah hingga mencecah bumbung, apakah banjir di Johor baru-baru ini disebabkan oleh masaalah perparitan atau muara sungai terlalu kecil? Tidak dinafikan sebab-sebab sampingan ini perlu diatasi, apakah mereka tidak mahu melihat ia adalah ujian atau bala Allah yang turun dari langit?
Cause Of Johor Floods To Be Known After Technical Study, Says Najib
The deputy prime minister said the government was in the process of setting up a technical committee and the cause of the floods would be determined by these experts.
"There have been all kinds of claims but we cannot draw conclusions without an in-depth technical study," he told reporters after launching a book entitled "On Command and Leadership" at the Defence Ministry here.
The book was written by Chief of Defence Forces Admiral Tan Sri Mohamed Anwar Mohamed Nor who retired today, and it was launched after he had handed over duties to the incoming top military chief, Chief of Army Gen Tan Sri Abdul Aziz Zainal.
Najib said that for the moment it can be said that the cause of the floods was the incessant heavy rain, adding that at some places rainfall for a whole month was experienced in just 24 hours.
Najib was asked to comment on a claim by Johor Menteri Besar Datuk Abdul Ghani Othman, Tuesday that massive land reclamation work by
Abdul Ghani had said that land reclamation had narrowed the river mouth and slowed the discharge of excess rain water into the Johor Straits.
The situation in Johor, hit by the recent floods for the first time last Dec 19 and for the second time on Jan 13, has returned to normal in most places but in a few areas, especially Batu Pahat, the floodwaters have been stagnant and more than 18,000 people are still at relief centres.
