Geography
The river starts from the foothills in the neighbouring state of Negeri Sembilan and feeds into the Straits of Malacca. A USD$100 million (RM350 million) infrastructure project to revive and rejuvenate the river which is the central to Malacca as an historic city was carried out. This has included construction of a tidal barrage, restoration of buildings and bridges, dredging, concrete river banks with river walkways. Land reclamation projects have extended the river mouth further into the Straits.
