If channels are full of mud, water cannot flow optimally and has a potential to cause inundation
Pluit Urban Village Head, Rosiwan said, mud dredging was carried out at RW 02 to anticipate inundation, especially to make water flow optimally to stilling basin at Pembangkitan Jawa Bali (PJB) Pump House of Muara Karang.
"If channels are full of mud, water cannot flow optimally and has a potential to cause inundation," he conveyed, Tuesday (9/29).
Pisang River Water Channel in Kebon Jeruk DredgedHe believed that if water can flow optimally to stilling basin, then the settlement area can be freed from inundation. Because four pumps at PJB Pump House will drain the water immediately to the sea.
"We deploy 5 PPSU personnel in each areas prone to flood. We also prepare one thousand sacks for mud and garbage. Hopefully this cleaning can be completed in one or two days," he mentioned.
