End of January, Draining of Connecting Canal in Kampung Bali Completed"We are targeting to complete it this week," he expressed, Thursday (1/12).
He explained that the channel, which is 80 centimeters wide and 80 centimeters high was dredged, as it had been filled with 30 centimeters thick sedimentation mud.
As a result of these conditions, the capacity of the channel is reduced and it has the potential to overflow when it rains.
"Draining is to increase channel capacity and to anticipate inundation in surrounding locations," he stated.
