There is a large canal that starts from Tanjong Karang which crossed but merged using watergate to Sungai Tengi.

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.

Only a small portion of the structure is maintained while almost the entire plant has been destroyed, whether caused by agriculture or land development.

Tanjong Karang has been known to the public after Nur Kasih a TV3 popular serial drama in 2009, made its filming here for kampung scenes.
