Landslide likely cause of muddy water in Sungai Selangor

An overhead shot of muddy water flowing through Sungai Selangor yesterday.

A LANDSLIDE upstream of Sungai Kerling, a river flowing from the Gading Forest Reserve in Hulu Selangor, may have caused the water in Sungai Selangor to turn muddy, said Selangor Water Management Authority (Luas).

Initial findings found that a water surge had occurred in the Sungai Kerling channel and the muddy flow had travelled 37.4km along the tributary into Sungai Selangor.
