Part of our Architecture group assignment for our second project based on the data collected in the Kuala Selangor Nature Park around the Wakaf area.

2. Taman Alam Kuala Selangor is recognized as a nature reserve for conservation and ecotourism
for tourists to see many species of wildlife. The 296 hectares are divided into 2 main sections,
covering 201 hectares of the Tropical Rainforest and the rest is a Mangrove Forest.

16. WIND PATH
•The windier time of the year lasts for 2.9 months,
from June 9 to September 5.
•The windiest day of the year is July 26, with an
average hourly wind speed of 5.6 miles per hour.
•The calmer time of year lasts for 9.1 months, from
September 5 to June 9.
The calmest day of the year is April 15, with an
average hourly wind speed of 4.5 miles per hour.
The mean monthlywind speed overthe year in Kuala Selangor,Malaysia (metersper second).
Data from the nearestweather station:Kuala Lumpur(Kuala Lumpur FederalTerritory),Malaysia (41.6km)
On average, the most wind is seen
in August while the least wind is
seen in January.

17. The percentage of hours in which the mean wind direction is from each of
the four cardinal wind directions, excluding hours in which the mean wind
speed is less than 1.0 mph. The lightly tinted areas at the boundaries are
the percentage of hours spent in the implied intermediate directions
(northeast, southeast, southwest, and northwest).

18. SouthwestMonsoon (Late May to September) NortheastMonsoon (Novemberto March)
During this season, most states experience monthly minimum rainfall.
- Southwest Monsoon is a dry season
- Low humidity
- Trees decrease wind speed
The northeast monsoon is the major rainy season in the country.
- Northeast Monsoon is a wet season
- High Humidity
- Trees decrease the wind speed
REVAILING WINDS

19. RADIAL TREE DEATHS
Due to the salts and mineral within
the swamp water content, it makes a
really good electrical conductor.
Thus when lightning strikes, it gets
conducted to the surrounding trees
and causing a radial death of trees.

Embankment Dam

34. Embankment Dam
•Are massive dams made of earth and rocks
•Embankment dams rely on their heavy weight to resist the force of the water
•But embankment dams are also armed with dense, waterproof core that
prevents water from seeping through the structure
•Embankment dams are filled with rocks and earth
Functions Issues
•Not functioning
•Currently rusty and only
opened halfway.
•Controlswater flowing in and out the
containmentarea.
•Helps to maintainthe water level for the
wildlife and mangrove.
•Helps to prevent flooding during rain and
thunderstorms.

The dam is controlled by
workers in the nature park.
Every morning at 10am, the
dam is opened to allow
water to flow lowering the
water tide. At night the tide,
rises and the cycle continues
daily. (Water requires
adjusting for mangroves)
Along the walking path, visitors are able to make close
contact to the flora and fauna on the surrounding
A distant walking path along the river
and forests that leads the visitors to
the direction of the nature park’s exit
Watching the river flow
elegantly along the river path,
while noticing some animals in
their nature mud habitat.
From the sub-circulation of
Wakaf, we are able to watch
some visitor walk pass or rest
in the gazebo.
