Jakarta Flood Management Priority River Normalization
Jakarta is divided by 13 rivers and 30 percent high in the area is below sea level. Such conditions clearly make DKI Jakarta could not be free at all from flooding. But floods can be controlled so that the adverse effects are reduced.
Based on his experience as the Governor of DKI Jakarta, Sutiyoso, emphasized that the priority of countermeasures is the normalization of the river. That means the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government must 'have the heart to' displace and move residents from settlements on reclamation lands along the riverbanks.
"The river is a place of water, not for garbage and settlement. Nor is it a place of political promise," said public policy observer, Agus Pambagyo. medcomid metrotvnews Berita Viral Viral Berita
