Regarding pumps, he expected city to add both stationary and mobile pumps and ensure pumps are in good condition. Especially in anticipating flood or inundation in vulnerable areas.

"Old pumps that can't operate optimally should be replaced. Moreover, there is pump with advanced technology that can operate in water called submersible pumps," he said.

He conveyed that Jakarta Government needs to build reservoirs, especially in West Jakarta region. Heavy rain that caused flood in early January 2020 can be a reference about location that needs reservoir.

"Not only using the existing land to build reservoir, but government can also purchase land if needed. If it is realistic and based on the needs, then propose the budget to us," he expressed.

Meanwhile, Water Reservoir (SDA) Department Head, Juaini Yusuf said, his side also planned to replace the old stationary pumps.

"We have inventoried it. Immediately, we will replace it with the new one," he stated.
