"The reservoir is very important as an effort to overcome flooding," he expressed, Wednesday (12/1).

In connection with the existence of a toll road construction, he stated, it was temporarily suspended for fear of disrupting the construction process.

"After the toll road construction through reservoir area, the reservoir work would be recontinued by re-mobilizing heavy equipment in the form of two excavators for dredging and making embankments," he explained.

He added, it would be used as a retention pond completed with embankment sheet pile, inspection roads and sluice gates for water management.
