River Clean-Up Programmes By Agencies And Communities

The River Clean-Up Programmes by Agencies and Communities initiative by the Kuala Lumpur City Hall is a collaborative effort aimed at improving the water quality of rivers in the city through regular cleaning and maintenance activities. The programme involves the participation of various agencies, including government departments, non-governmental organizations, and local communities, who work together to identify areas that require cleaning and to carry out regular cleaning activities. These activities include the removal of solid waste, debris and other pollutants from the river bed and banks, the clearing of blocked drainage systems, and the monitoring of water quality.

The River Clean-Up Programmes by Agencies and Communities initiative is an important component of the broader River of Life programme, which seeks to rejuvenate and transform the Klang and Gombak Rivers in Kuala Lumpur into vibrant and sustainable waterfront areas.

The River Clean-Up Programmes by Agencies and Communities initiative plays a critical role in promoting the sustainable use and management of the river resources in Kuala Lumpur, enhancing the quality of life for the surrounding communities, and contributing to the broader global efforts to achieve the SDGs. The programme is a testament to the power of collaboration and partnership in achieving sustainable development outcomes, and serves as a model for other cities and communities seeking to improve the quality of their water resources.
