This is one of our strategies to anticipate flooding or inundation
One of the efforts to deal with inundation in residents' settlements, Cipayung Sub-district, East Jakarta, starting this year will be channeling all channels to the nearest reservoir.
According to Panangaran Ritonga, Head of Cipayung Sub-district, it has already been implemented in several locations and it will continue to be done in stages. By doing so, the reservoir was expected to be more optimal in flood prevention.
