SUNGAI PETANI: The Drainage and Irrigation Department has been urged to reassess the effectiveness of the recently completed Sabo Dam in Titi Hayun, Yan, following its first encounter with heavy rainfall , which has raised concerns about its ability to mitigate debris flow s and flash floods during the rainy season.said although the Sabo Dam was completed, its capability to manage strong water flows had not been fully tested until the recent downpour.
"There may be room for improvement in its design or additional measures, such as constructing a second dam, to enhance its effectiveness,” he said during a press conference following the closing ceremony of the Festival Insan Sejahtera here on Sunday . Muhammad Sanusi also reflected on the debris flow incident three years ago that tragically claimed six lives and left the rivers in the recreational areas shallow and filled with rocks.
"When the flash floods occurred previously, the rivers became shallow due to accumulated rocks. This could be hindering the dam’s performance. We might need to consider dredging the river again or removing the rocks,” he said.
