治水提案 - a proposal

在kampong Kerto挖運河﹐減少河水滾進詩巫(畢竟河水不喜歡走彎路)﹐也避免因為流速減低導致泥沙沉澱在詩巫河道。

運河通過最狹窄的部份才一公里左右﹐應該是算不困難的工程。

伊干江的河水還是可以往下流﹐不過也許需要考慮阻擋拉讓江潮水倒灌詩巫﹐比如弄一個水閘門。

運河開闢後﹐詩巫附近的江以後甚至可以弄成一個遊覽“人工湖”﹐促進觀光業。

當然還有一些小細節需要考慮﹐歡迎大家對各種問題點進行討論。

This is a proposal to deal with the constant flooding problem. The most straight forward idea is to dig a canal at Kpg Kerto to allow direct flow of water along Rejang River. Water does not like to meander because it slows down and also it rushes into Sibu town. As the water gets trapped, it floods Sibu. The canal will be about 1 km long at the narrowest point, and therefore, the construction will not be difficult.

To prevent high tide from entering Sibu, a gate may be needed. In the long run, Rejang River in front of Sibu may become a tourist spot, to become like a man-made lake.

I appreciate your discussion on this proposal, especially its potential problems.

Note: this is the proposal to deal with flooding from Rejang River. The drainage from inside the town is a separate issue that will be addressed separately.
