Residents living in RT 04/03 Pegangsaan Dua Urban Village, Kelapa Gading, North Jakarta, benefited from the embankment on the Cakung Riverbank which they built independently last year.
Previously, our residential was often inundated
RT 04/03 Pegangsaan Urban Village Chairman, Parid said the construction of the 580-meter-long embankment with 51 centimeters high and 20 centimeters wide can overcome the inundation when it rains.
"Previously, our residential was often inundated from the overflowing waters of the Cakung Lama River. But now that doesn't happen anymore," he said, Monday (2/6).

"Its existence can also give a sense of security, as no one is playing on the riverbanks," he stated.
