Currently, sheet pile installation has become important issue because the water level in Kali Krukut increased during the rainy season.
"The area around Kali Krukut is usually inundated when the water level increased," said Budiwidodo.
Budiwidodo added, the local citizens also tried to make barrier at Kali Krukut. However, the wall often broken-down due to high water debit of the river.
