The Klang River has 11 major tributaries. Because the river flows through Klang Valley, which is a heavily populated area of more than four million people, it is considerably polluted, because of deep siltation caused by human waste from informal settlers on the riverbanks and even from some business establishments without septic tanks or sewage treatment plants and by soil carried by mudflows from mountains. Heavy development has narrowed certain stretches of the river to the point that it resembles a large storm drain in places. This contributes to flash floods in Kuala Lumpur, especially after heavy rain. Course , The Klang River originates in the Klang Gates Quartz Ridge in Gombak, near the border with Pahang, northeast of Kuala Lumpur. It is joined by 11 major tributaries. These includ ...

Pandaruan River
The Pandaruan River () is a river that forms an international border on the island of Borneo, between Temburong, Brunei and Limbang, Malaysia. It is located at the river mouth of the Brunei Bay. History On 4 May 1968, the 67 Gurkha Independent Field Squadron of the Queen's Gurkha Engineers built the first road alongside the river.

The Pandaruan Bridge which is also known as the Brunei–Malaysia Friendship Bridge, crosses the river linking Pandaruan in Sarawak, Malaysia, and Kampong Puni in Temburong, Brunei.
