Once there was a waterfall...

The Sungei Serendah, a tributary of the Selangor River, can be seen flowing quietly near the former mining town of Serendah. In earlier days there were large boulders here where the river dropped down in seven (tujoh) whirlpools.

As this situation was considered dangerous for bathers, it was decided to 'landscape' the river, replace the boulders with a dam, and keep a memory of the seven whirlpools by letting the water flow down in seven channels.

The Seven Wells

The result is quite attractive, although nowadays mostly only four of the seven wells are operating. Of course the question is, where does the water go?

The Seven Falls

After plunging down in the "wells", the water appears again from the dam.

At the time of our visit only four wells and falls were working. Quite a number of fish could be seen trying to travel upstream. How could they know that even if they would have succeeded in jumping the falls, the wells were still waiting for them as an impossible barrier?
