The recent flood incident in Malaysia has created permanent damages in terms of losing personal belongings ,and destruction of houses which affected the living quality of many people. Even more dreadfully several of them lost their lives to the flood.
Why?
Malaysia is known for being a tropical country with some occasional rainy days. According to weather reports, November to February are the rainy seasons in Malaysia and it is typical to expect heavy rains during those months. However, the flood incident in December occurred due to several reasons.
Overused drainage systems can be a main reason for the flood to occur. In urban areas it is normal to use concrete for drainage. The drainages that are made up of concrete usually have less place for the water to sink in properly which could cause potential flood in the future. The drainages that are not structured properly also cause the drainage to block with garbage which will make the drainage overflow with water. This can be one of the reasons for the flood.
The unstable pipes can be another reason for flooding. The pipes being clogged with sewages could stop the water flow in the pipe which will cause flooding. Moreover, the high amount of sewages could bring more pressure on the pipes which will break the pipes. Hence, the pipes system is essential to prevent flooding.
