Cengkareng Timur Residents Intensify Water Channel Dredging"We deployed 10 personnel everyday to dredge the channel," Eli said, Monday (11/4).
Due to limited channel capacity, Eli added, the area was often inundated during heavy rain.
"The mud thickness reached 40 cm. It limited the channel capacity," Eli added.
One of RW 05 residents of Bendungan Hilir Urban Village, Rahmat, appreciated the channel dredging in his area. He hopes the newly dredged water channel will stop the inundation.
"Now the channel becomes cleaner. Hopefully there will be no more inundation here," he admitted.
