Klang Gates Dam

Last conscious encounter with a dam was back in 1990s while on a train to Tenom in Sabah. My parents kept telling us kids to lookout for this Pangi Dam, a hydroelectric power plant generated from a run-of-the Padas River. Back to Klang Gates Dam, so I went there to visit.


Reservoir at Bukit Tabur, Taman Melawati
Klang Gates Dam. Was up there taking pictures of the reservoir
Height: 36.89 meters
Was curious to what will happen if God forbid, the dam ever you know, broke. Saw one movie when I was young about a dam bursting unable to hold back gallons of excessive water.

Well, that's the case of having too much water. How about too little water?
