FINAL ASSESSMENT

Water is a source of primary need for humans and other livings.

Besides human, flora & fauna also requires clean water as a resource to live.

One small drop can make a ripple in the water and one small decision can affect your life.

The remains of the Kuala Kubu Dam structure had previously broken down to causing the area to sink because its structure is unable to accommodate large floods.

A new dam has been built in 2003 in a higher area. However, to meet human needs there will be an exploitation of nature that will lead to destruction or marginalisation.

The raw water of the Selangor river overflowing into the glory hole spillway at Sungai Selangor Dam, Kuala Kubu Bharu before it being treated at a nearby water treatment plant.

Domestic sewage contains toxicants, solid waste, plastic litters, and bacterial contaminants, and these toxic materials causing water pollution as a result of human activities could lead harmful to the environment and human health.

A muster of storks forages in shallow water that contains many sewage pollutions.

The distribution of economic activities such as factories and restaurants around the Selangor area especially at Rawang has lead to the dumping of waste that enters the river and made Selangor River the tainted waterway.

Water pollution due to oil spills in the river near Rawang area which is surrounded by factories.

Viewpoint from above with the downstream of Selangor River at Kuala Selangor between manmade and nature in between.

Climate shifts such as sea-level rise, altered rainfall, and human activities such as urbanisation, aquaculture, timber, fish, crustaceans, and shellfish mining, and over-exploitation are significant threats to the ecosystem of mangroves.

Toxic man-made chemicals carried by river systems can destroy animals living in mangrove forests from upstream sources, while oil emissions can smother the roots of mangroves and suffocate the trees.

This image shows the end of the river Selangor irrigation journey that began in Kuala Kubu Bharu. The water that was originally clean got dirty as a result of human growth. The results of human behavior eventually return to themselves when the source of polluted water will be presented in their food supplies and the effects will return to them.
