Kelana Jaya Lake
Amidst the hectic lifestyle and thriving city of Kelana Jaya, one can find solace and calm at the Kelana Jaya Park Lake, strategically situated right in the middle of this community area. The lake serves as a recreational haven for nature lovers, joggers, and just those who want some peace and quiet after a long day.
The Kelana Jaya Lake is one of the prominent urban lakes in Selangor, Malaysia. Located in Damansara River Basin, the lakes were developed as a public park that provides tranquillity and enjoyment to people from all walks of life from hustle and bustle of city life.Nonetheless, these intangible benefits have been diminishing purely due to continuous pollution by the surrounding area at a very consistent rate.
  
As the result, a rehabilitation programme was initiated in 2002. The first phase of the programme was about community awareness and empowering the community to participate in conserving the lakes’ ecosystem and its biodiversity. Consequently, the programme has managed to generate positive responses from the community and has managed to establish Friends of Kelana Jaya Park in 2005.
  
The effort of rehabilitating Kelana Jaya Lakes has not stopped there. In August 2007, Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MOSTI) under Innofund Scheme funded the second phase of Kelana Jaya Rehabilitation Programme known as Rehabilitation of Kelana Jaya Lake through Community Participation. This project aims at improving the water quality of one of the lakes (Lake 1) in its very own way by collaborating between technology and human. It emphasis on the involvement of local community in lake management along side with an innovative technology called the Ecofan.
Today, halfway through 2009, the project is still actively particpiated by the community, and has seen visible progress since it first begin 7 years ago.
