The construction of a channel crossing as long as seven meters with 150 centimeters wide on Jalan Lebak Lestari Indah, RW 04, Lebak Bulus Urban Village, Cilandak, South Jakarta, completed.

Cilandak Sub-district Water Resources (SDA) Executing Unit Head, Yansori said the channel crossing construction is an aspiration of the local environmental management.

"When it rains, water often floods the surrounding area because the channel on one side cannot accommodate the high volume of water," he expressed, Thursday (8/1).

He explained the work has been ongoing since July 5, 2024, by sending five personnel to the location.

"We also send an excavator to install a U-Ditch measuring 150x150 centimeters," he explained.

He wanted it would be able to smoothen the water flow into the micro channels.

"Hope no more flooding after this," he hoped.

The work above received appreciation from one of the residents, Supriyatno (52).

"Hopefully, it can minimize flooding well in the rainy season," he hoped.
