 //"Batu Dam was built in 1985 af a cost of $20 million and commissioned in 1987 primarily to prevent flooding in the city. About 30 per cent of the water in the dam, believed to be one of the cleaner dams in Klang Valley, is for consumption. Its catchment reservoir is fed by the Batu and Tua rivers and it channels water to the Waterworks Department treatment plant that caters to Jinjang and Batu Caves."// (New Straits Times, 4 April 1991: {{ :akhbar:nst-1991-04-04-batudam-watersports.pdf ||}}[[https://books.google.com.my/books?id=EMFUAAAAIBAJ&pg=PA25&article_id=6513,1400100|"Water sports to be at Batu Dam"]]).

 //"City residents are expected to be spared major floods when the Sungai Klang Basin Flood Mitigation programme is completed in 2007 but flash floods will continue to be part and parcel of life in and around Kuala Lumpur. Federal Territory Drainage and Irrigation Department director Tan Jiak Kim said the programme would prevent floods traditionally caused by rivers overflowing their banks after heavy rain. "However. it will not prevent floods resulting from a very high intensity of rainfall that occurs in localised areas and lasts a few hours. "Such floods also cover a large area and cause extensive damage," he said. Tan said flash floods were usually associated with
 clogged culverts or drains. The projects, which began in 1973, were initially estimated to cost a total of RM760 million. The cost is, however expected to touch RM1 biilion when the projects are completed in 12 years' time.
-They involve three major aspects - dam construction, improvement work on three major rivers and improvement work on the trunk drainage system or tributaries. Tan said work on the first component included the construction of the RM19.7 million Batu Dam in 1987 and the raising of the Klang Gate Dam at RM3.4 million in 1980. \\

-Works on three major rivers include the channelising of Sungai Klang, Sungai Batu and Sungai Gombak. This involve a total length of 95km. On work along the Sungai Klang, Tan said it involved river lining and disilting. The lining job which kicked off in the 1980s began at the upper reaches of the river. Work has been completed up to a point near Jalan Tun Razak. Desilting on the downstream portion from the Federal Highway to the Puchong Drop, which began in 1993, was recently completed. "Desilting at Sungai Klang is being carried out from Puchong Drop to Shah Alam and involves a distance of 19km." \\

 On the Sungai Batu river project, also known as Sungai Batu revetment project, he said it involved a distance of 2.4km from Jalan Segambut bridge to the 4½ mile Jalan Ipoh bridge. The work involves widening, deepening and concrete lining of the river using "L" units. The river is being widened from 20 metres to 32 metres and deepened to three metres. "As a result the river capacity will be increased and overflowing will not occur easily." According to Tan, the river widening project at Sungai Batu, which is 80 percent completed, began in
-May 1992 and was originally expected to be completed in May this year. "But due to some problems with the squatters in the area the completion has been delayed until the end of the year," he said. Besides the revetment job, work on the Sungai Batu also includes the Batu retention pond project. \\

+//"The Sungai Gombak diversion canal and Sungai Batu flood retention pond system are the brainchild of the Japan International Corporation Co-operation Agency (Jica) which carried out a study in 1989 on the feasibility of the projects. The spokesman said the study recommended the building of the canal and several retention ponds and that the projects be completed by next year. The canal located between Sungai Gombak and Sungai Batu, is part of the Klang Valley flood mitigation roject which is expected to cost RM1 billion by the time it is completed in 2007. Earlier, FT DID director Tan Jiak Kim said the scheme was designed to reduce flooding and improve existing river and drainage systems without affecting the environment. About 50 per cent of the project has been completed. He said experts predicted that a major disaster like the 1971 floods, which hit the Klang Valley and caused RM35 million in damages, would recurr once every 100 years. "Work on Sungai Batu includes the Batu retention pond project which is actually divided into three ponds - a retention pond, recreation pond and regulation pond - all covering 68.3ha of disused mining pools." Tan said the ponds would act as a buffer to hold excess water during
+heavy rain. "Water chanelled from Sungai Gombak will be released into the ponds periodically to prevent flooding in low-lying areas." He added that under the dam construction component of the flood mitigation project, a dam was to be built for Sungai Gombak in an area along the Karak Highway. "However, due to protests from some people the project was shelved, he said. Tan said the site for the proposed dam had been taken over for the construction of the new International Islamic University campus which would be completed by the middle of the year. The construction of the RM19.7 million Batu Dam in 1987 and the raising of the Klang Gate Dam by three metres at a cost of RM3.4 million in 1980 were also part of the dam construction component of the flood mitigation project for the Klang Valley."// (Sager Ahmad @ New Straits Times, 27 Februari 1996: {{ :akhbar:nst-1996-02-27-klangvalley-diversion-canal.pdf ||}}[[https://books.google.com.my/books?id=0Y8yAAAAIBAJ&pg=PA26&article_id=4924,2078435|"Klang Valley diversion canal held up"]]; Sager Ahmad @ New Straits Times, 1 Januari 1996: {{ :akhbar:nst-1996-01-01-canalproject.pdf ||}}[[https://books.google.com.my/books?id=3HpaAAAAIBAJ&pg=PA28&article_id=5061,300172|"All clear for RM24m canal project"]]).

The Temuans from Sungai Batu who were moved for the Batu Dam still have not received the RM500 compensation they were each promised for their huts.” he said at a Press Conference to announce the launch of S.O.S.

+//"PANG HIN YUE: "For the first time in my eight years as a journalist, I cried. Never had I seen such poverty. Such helplessness. There was this frail woman, Seri, widowed With eight sickly children, with no food or money. How I wished I could take away some of her pain. Her personal tragedy of being forced off her ancestral land inspired my colleague Sarah Sabaratnam and I to write, like we had never done before. about what can happen when development fails to take into account the people it affects. Seri and the rest of the Orang Asli community displaced by the Batu Dam 15 years ago have yet to taste the fruits of development. Until we ran our first story, their children did not have access to education. The story of Seri and her family became our starting point when we got wind of an impending dam in Selangor. Would the mistake of Batu Dam be repeated With the proposed Sungai Selangor Dam? For three weeks, we worked day and night. We made repeated trips to Kuala Kubu Baru. We went to the two Orang Asli villages there. We listened to what the local community had to say. We hounded the State Assemblyman. We cornered the Selangor Menteri Besar. We talked to experts on dams, river management and water resources. We networked with Malaysians who share similar concerns. Of course, we also talked to the dam developers. It was not difficult to write the stories which came in three instalments because we wrote from our heart. And with our editor who shared our vision and passion, we pursued the issue with all our might. We felt encouraged when the feedback came in. Shortly after highlighting Seri's plight, we were told that the Jabatan Hal Ehwal Orang Asli made arrangements to take Seri's children to school. We had calls from people who were touched by the story. Some offered to donate money. Some wanted to know how they can help stop the dam. We also ruffled a few feathers, but we know a story works when it moves people. Although we do not know whether the dam will be built, at least we can say we tried to deliver the stories as honestly as we could."// (New Straits Times, 13 Oktober 1999: {{ :akhbar:nst-1999-10-13-writingfromtheirhearts.pdf ||}}[[https://books.google.com.my/books?id=duROAAAAIBAJ&pg=PA23&article_id=5839,5471970|"Writing from their hearts"]]).

 //"The Gombak Land Office has been instructed to look into whether the settlements, land clearing and farming in the Batu Dam catchment area are legal. Selangor's Local Government and Squatters Committee chairman Datuk Fuad Hassan today said the Land Office would also have to ascertain whether the land within the catchment area was private or State land. He was speaking to reporters after visiting the Batu Dam near Batu Caves. Fuad visited a settlement of 17 huts near Sungai Tua which drains into the Batu Dam. Department of Irrigation and Drainage Federal
 Territory director C. L. Liew said the huts were built by squatters. Several areas in the catchment area showed evidence of land clearing and farming. Fuad said the Land Office had to check the claim that the huts and land clearing had been approved. If so, the settlers would have to be relocated and compensated. He said land clearing and farming within the catchment area posed a problem as fertilisers and pesticides could get washed into the dam which acts as both a flood retention reservoir and also for water supply. The Sungai Batu water treatment plant, which treats 113.7 million litres daily, draws water from the dam."// (New Straits Times, 20 May 1998: {{ :akhbar:nst-1998-05-20-batudam-settlers.pdf ||}}[[https://books.google.com.my/books?id=LVtPAAAAIBAJ&pg=PA4&article_id=6734,6302308|"Checks on legal status of Batu Dam settlers"]]).

+in Selangor will be gazetted as water catchment zones to prevent them from being developed in future. All areas now identified as water catchment areas in Selangor are not gazetted as such but were only gazetted as permanent for-
+est reserves. Menteri Besar Datuk Abu Hassan Omar said the areas involved were in the forest reserves of Hulu Selangor (14.825ha), Semangkok (1.430ha), Bukit Tarik (1,291 ha) and Bukit Belata (260ha). Other areas to be gazetted as such are at the forest reserves of Bukit Tunggal (1.774ha), Rantau Panjang (393ha), Bukit Cerakah (891 ha), Bukit Lagong (799ha), Hulu Gombak (9.764ha), Ampang (2.066ha), Hulu Langat (4,28.5ha), Sungai Lalang (5.014ha) and 556ha at Bukit Sungai Puteh. Most of the permanent forest reserves involved are those in the surrounding areas of Sungai Buloh Dam, Tasik Subang Dam, Sungai Batu Dam, Klang Gate Dam, Pansoon Dam and the Semenyih Dam. Others are permanent forest reserves surrounding 17 water intake plants - five along Sungai Selangor, one each along Sungai Buaya, Sungai Buloh, Sungai Batu, Sungai Rumput, Sungai Semenyih, Sungai Serai and in Gombak, Bukit Nanas, Rantau Panjang ,Hulu Langat, Ampang and North Hammock. \\

+He said the areas would be gazetted once the detailed plans for the affected areas were drawn up by the departments of Land and Mines and Forestry within one month. "Once all these areas have been gazetted as water catchment zones, they will not be allowed to be converted for any purpose, including logging, development or agricultural activities. "By gazetting the areas as water catchment zones we hope to protect all water sources to ensure there
+will always be adequate water supply in the State," he told reporters after launching the Selangor Development Expo 1998 today. Abu Hassan said some of the forest reserves to be gazetted as water catchment zones were situated quite
+far from any dam or water intake plants. He said in deciding how large a permanent forest reserve area was to be gazetted, factors such as topography of the area with regard to the existing dams and water intake plants would be taken into account. "Some parts of a forest reserve, although it is situated quite close to a dam or water intake plant will not be gazetted as such because it is separated by high ridges thus water run-off from this area will not contribute to the water level of the dam or the water intake plant."//
