"We pump and drain water to Cilangkap connecting channel," he added.
SDA Sub-agency: Pumps in North Jakarta are in Prime ConditionDraining was carried out thus reservoir embankment did not burst, because sluice gate at reservoir outlet was damaged and not functioning.
By draining the water, he expected reservoirs can hold more rainwater when heavy rain falls.
"We will continue to drain it if water level in reservoir is quite high," he conveyed.
