Tanjung Priok Sub-district Water Resources Unit dredged mud sedimentation from Danau Indah Barat connecting (phb) channel, Sunter Jaya Urban Village, Tanjung Priok Sub-district, North Jakarta.

Dredging starts today and is targeted to complete in early April 2021

Tanjung Priok Sub-district SDA Unit Head, Deny Tri Hendarto mentioned, dredging was carried out to normalize Danau Indah Barat connecting channel thus it can be optimal in function and hold more water.

"Dredging starts today and is targeted to complete in early April 2021," he conveyed, Wednesday (3/17).

Danau Indah Barat connecting channel has length of 550 meters, width of 2.5 meters, and depth of 2.5 meters with mud thickness of one meter.

"In this dredging, we use one wheel excavator and three dump trucks. We also deploy three Tanjung Priok SDA Unit to dredge this connecting channel," he explained.
