Empangan Batu terletak di Lembah Kelang, Selangor, Malaysia. Empangan ini hanyalah empangan untuk bekalan air minuman sahaja, bukan empangan janakuasa elektrik. Empangan ini menampung 30,199 juta liter air. Empangan ini telah dibina sejak zaman penjajahan British lagi bagi menampung keperluan penduduk di Selangor terutama di ibu kota Kuala Lumpur. Sungai Batu yang mengalir dari Banjaran Titiwangsa telah dipilih kerana berdekatan dengan Kuala Lumpur.

Empangan Batu menyalurkan air mentah kepada loji rawatan air Sg Batu.

allmalaysia.info As you go along the Hulu Yam-Gombak road, you will be greeted with an impressive view of Batu Dam. So beautiful is the scenery at Batu Dam that the Selangor Government turned the dam into a tourist spot by putting up rest stops and basic amenities. There are gazebos built for visitors to sit in and admire the view. This picturesque location will have you snapping lots of photos!

The original purpose of the dam was for flood and water supply control. Built in 1987, the dam is now used for supplying water to certain residential and industrial areas in Kuala Lumpur.

...If you go more further, on the way to Ulu Yam, you will be surprised with people are sitting beside the road, holding a recycled bottle and an umbrella. What are they doing ? They are actually collecting water that flow naturally from the mountain. They claimed that the water is very good for health. Well, actually, scientists has proved that the water is full of minerals and it's clean enough to be drink. Batu Dam is a very good place for family outings. You can easily spend a day there, if you visits all the mentioned. It's just 30 mins drive from KL City.
