Jakarta Provincial Government keeps decreasing the flood spots. The flood handling steps taken must be based on its root analysis.
You can see at Jalan S Parman, in front of Untar. The area was always flooded. But today we don’t see it
“You can see at Jalan S Parman, in front of Untar. The area was always flooded. But today we don’t see it,” said Jakarta Governor, Basuki T. Purnama, Thursday (9/22).
According to him, solving flood in Jakarta is not quite difficult since the cause is almost the same. Due to many water channel and river, then the handling needs more time.
“It’s not difficult solving flood in Jakarta, but all step must be run correctly,” he added.
Some of the steps are normalizing 13 rivers, connecting 1,169 water channels, and providing dike at the coastal area.
“If the channel flows the water normally without sabotage, flood in Jakarta can be minimized,” he closed.
