As human activities and movement outdoors decrease, there are increasing numbers of examples of improvements in the surrounding environment. One of these beneficiaries is waterways - where rivers, estuaries and seas have become clearer and cleaner.
The Global Environment Center , in a recent news report, stated the significant improvements in river conditions, particularly in Sungai Gombak, Sungai Way and Sungai Kemunsing, since the Movement Control Order commenced in March in Malaysia.These rivers have often been the targetted hotspots and “victims'' of pollution with floating rubbish clogging up and running through commercial, industrial and residential areas.
As an essential service, IWK also continues to operate and maintain the public sewerage system, providing sewerage services to households in Malaysia. Sewerage work has long been regarded as difficult, dirty and dangerous work, thus, this necessary work is often unseen as the work involved happens at the very final stage of the water cycle – treating waste water from premises to the level where it can be safely released into the waterways in the form of effluent.
Demonstrating the quality of effluent discharge to Klang River -- from left to right: Point A – Sg Klang upstream, Point B – Sg Kerayong and Point C – Sg Klang downstream. For instance, there are 954 of IWK’s STPs with a 9,800,000 population equivalent, which discharges the equivalent of 2,200 million litres per day into the Klang River and all these STPs release effluent as per standards set by the Department of Environment .Sungai Gisir before MCO in March and during MCO . Sg Gisir is a tributary of Sg Klang located near Hulu Klang, Selangor.
