KLANG: The flood situation in the country is expected to worsen, especially in the west coast due to climate change, experts say.
“The Strait of Malacca is also exposed to more intense anthropogenic impacts due to population density along the west coast stretch of the country,’’ Tan said. “Much of our lowlands near the coast are susceptible. The degree of impact is dependent not only on the rate of increase in sea level but the ability of our coastlines to adapt to sea level changes,’’ he said.
As such, he said it was crucial to have a sound flood mitigation system and strategy in place to reduce the impact of climate change.In the 2022 Auditor-General’s Report, which was released recently, it was revealed that five out of 10 flood mitigation projects in Klang had failed. Mohd Remy Rozainy said the design of flood mitigation structures must be upgraded to accommodate a 200-year rainfall recurrence.
