I believe areas at riverbanks have a higher risk. Take Taman Sri Muda for example located at the riverbank for Sg Klang, or Taman Mutiara Dengkil at the riverbank of Sg Langat, which were badly affected.
Banjir Malaysia 2021 was taken as a 100-year flood event with 1% probability of occurrence in any year, where Selangor had 2X MORE than highest ever recorded rainfall.
Given the continuous rainfall in almost all major states, I would say it was a more accurate representation of the flood map than your usual dry season flash floods. With that, you get to gauge the flood risk of your taman. If your taman was unaffected, then most likely your taman will be safe. To balance between government budget and maintenance, most Klang Valley flood prevention systems are based on 50-years ARI (Annual Recurrence Interval), meaning average of 50 years in between flood events (could be earlier or later, and a 2% chance of occurrence at any year aka AEP, Annual Exceedance Probablity).
GC to Rimbayu via ELITE Highway was okay. Even Cyber too. And also Putrajaya Dam which protected many downstream tamans along Sg Langat, but flood risk will always change with development and global warming. Will we still be around in the next 50 years? Haha.
You can Google "MWA Webinar 3/2022" to hear more from our expert weatherman.
I am currently staying at Taman Arked, Dengkil since 2016. Taman Arked, Paya Indah Wetland & PLKN Kuala Langat (now converted into Penjara Satelit Kuala Langat) is the nearest neighbourhood of GC.
To access this area, you need to come from Jalan Dengkil-Banting from Pekan Dengkil or Bukit Changgang. since 2017, this is one of the off-road access for all lori tanah Gamuda to come into GC. Another access is from Bukit Cheding if i’m not mistaken. Based on GC masterplan layout, this will be nearby their southern development (semi-d/bungalow).
Actually, Cybersouth project and GC is just next to another. Separated by Elite highway. From Jalan Dengkil-Banting you can access Cybersouth area using off-road passsing by the legendary abandoned Sri Dengkil Mining Dredge.
Geographically, there are lot of abandoned mines around this area esp nearby Paya Indah Wetland. Taman Arked is not affected by the recent Dec2021 flood disaster & i guess it is almost impossible for this area to be affected since there are lot of deep abandoned mines which can be the kolam takungan air hujan. Plus, there is a lake of crocodile (buaya tembaga) inside the Paya Indah Wetland. I think if this area banjir for sure all the buaya will go out lah.
To be frank just be careful with other lakes/mines around this area, there are few cases of crocodile been spotted nearby Taman Arked & Paya Indah Wetland areas.
Structure wise, i hope Gamuda can do better than OIB. Most of terrace houses at Taman Arked experienced ‘tanah mendap’. Some of local ppl here said this is because of the water movement due to kawasan paya & lombong.
