The installation of 32 log booms across Kuala Lumpur River is an initiative aimed at reducing water pollution and improving the health of the river ecosystem. The log booms are barriers made of logs that are placed across the river to capture floating debris, such as plastics and other pollutants, before they can enter the river system. The log booms are strategically placed in areas where there is a high concentration of pollutants, such as urban areas and industrial zones. The initiative is a collaboration between the Kuala Lumpur City Hall and the Department of Environment, and involves ongoing monitoring and maintenance of the log booms to ensure their effectiveness. The installation of log booms is a simple and effective solution to address water pollution in urban areas, reducing the negative impact of pollutants on the river ecosystem and the wider environment.
