"This retention basin has three meters depth, but the sedimentation is as high as 2.5 meters. So, we need to dredge it. We have taken tens cubic meters of mud from it," he informed, Thursday (11/29).

Pasar Minggu SDA Unit's Field Coordinator, Didi Supriadi stated, dredging is done since January. It takes a long time to dredge it since his side needs to do it manually.

"Heavy equipment can enter the location, so we need to dredge it manually. There are 8-10 Pasar Minggu SDA personnel who dredge the mud every day," he conveyed.
