Read this... Look at the photos... Put on your thinking cap... Then tell me: Can this be avoided?
This is the water retention pond at Section 3 Kota Damansara - full of water and visited by egrets, herons, king-fishers, eagles, etc before 26.2.2006
Pond full of water before bund broke

God... have mercy to Shah Alam residents
Broken bund
Before the bund at the discharge outlet was broken, based on the water marks, water depth was estimated at between 10 to 15 feet. Once the bund broke, water volume equals 10 to 15 feet x 40 acres of the flood retention pond gushed out downstream. The pond was dried-up within hours.
Water volume equals to 10 to 15 feet of water depth multiply by 40 acres were emptied within hoursLesson to be learned...

The way the message sent to the website claiming that the total volume of water is 10 to 15ft in depth and cover 40 acres of Land Area is not reflecting the actual picture. The retention pond at its present state has only 3 to 5 ft of water and the actual water body area is approximately ½ the land area.
The good intention of PKNS to deepen the pond and get it constructed in accordance to JPS standards will surely help in better retention of rainfall before discharging to Sg. Damansara.
The said area to be developed by PKNS & the Developer is only 10 acres, which is 22% of the total area (45 acres).
This functional retention pond after completion will surely be able to help in flood mitigation.
Please be pro active and look at the added value that PKNS & the State Government are bringing to Kota Damansara.
