There is a large
canal that starts from Tanjong Karang which crossed but merged using watergate to Sungai Tengi. The canal ends in the district of
Sabak Bernam. It is often called by the locals as
bangkenal. Its function is to provide enough water to irrigate the rice crops; it is also used by a water supply company to provide treated water and as a place for freshwater fish farming among the villagers. In the past, this canal is involved in the forest harvesting activities. It serves as a router in sweeping the harvested
timber by drifting it over the water to the 'Headworks' where the collection works is done for land transportation. The canal was built by the Colonial Federal Government's
Department of Irrigation and Drainage (Malay:
Jabatan Pengairan dan Saliran) in 1953 as part of Tanjong Karang Irrigation Scheme project, it is a reclamation project that converted the swampland of Central Selangor to a cultivatable rice paddies by connecting Sungai Tengi to Sungai Bernam in Perak, the canal extend all the way from Tanjung Karang to Sungai Besar. There are myths from the older people who claimed there was a giant
snake found during the construction of this canal. It led to the cessation of further construction work at Seri Tiram. ==Historic building==
