Jakarta to Revitalize Rivers, Reservoirs to Anticipate Flooding
TEMPO.CO , Jakarta - Jakarta Acting Governor Heru Budi Hartono said the city management will soon revitalize 16 rivers, lakes, dams, and reservoirs to predictable flooding during the upcoming rainy season.
“We are doings flood mitigation based on the regulation drafted in the Regional Development Plan 2023-2026,” Heru said in a plenary session at the Jakarta Legislative Congress (DPRD) building on Wednesday, September 13, 2023.
Ahead of the rainy season, the provincial government is determined to develop flood monitoring regulations and launch maintenance programs for flood control infrastructure and facilities.
Heru said the regional government would intensively cooperate with the central government and synchronize a series of priority land acquisition programs to expedite building projects performed by the Public Works and Housing (PUPR) Ministry.
In 2023, Jakarta will also increase river capacity for watercourses control by focusing on 4.3 kilometers of the Ciliwung River, and build priority river infrastructure, such as the Baru Timur River, Sunter River, and Pesanggrahan River.
To mitigate the risk of flooding due to tidal waves or sea tides, Jakarta will build coastal safety dams in the West Ancol, Muara Angke, and Blencong River areas and increase the capacity of aquatic storage and river drainage.
Heru Budi stated that he is committed to organization the synergy with Jakarta’s surrounding regions to overcome the flooding.
Heru Budi disclosed these watercourses mitigation efforts in response to the diverse views of the Jakarta DPRD factions regarding the current of the revised 2023 Jakarta Regional Budget (APBD-P).
