East Jakarta Water Management starts to develop a waterway under Jl Darussalam, Kelapa Dua Wetan, Ciracas towards Rawa Babon Reservoir, precisely on north side of the sluice gate. It is conducted to overcome inundation during rainy season.

Waterway development has been ongoing since last night. Even water can already be flowed to the waterway

"Waterway development has been ongoing since last night. Even water can already be flowed to the waterway," said Budy Hartati, Head of Kelapa Dua Wetan Urban Village, Tuesday (8/30).

Separately, East Jakarta Water Management Sub-dept Head, Ahmad Yazied Bustomi added, the waterway was deliberately made in diameter of 1 meter thus water from Rawa Babon Reservoir not overflow into the connecting channel. Its development is targeted to be complete in three days.

"If it is made large, the reservoir water can enter all. It is worried will make inundation in other regions. That's why it is only made in diameter of 1 meter," he finished.
