Jakarta is divided by 13 rivers and 30 percent of its area is below sea level. These conditions clearly make it impossible for DKI Jakarta to be completely free from flooding. However, flooding can be controlled so that the negative impact is reduced.

Based on his experience as governor of DKI Jakarta, Sutiyoso reiterated that the priority for mitigation is river normalization. This means that the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government must 'have the heart' to evict and relocate residents from settlements on reclaimed land along the riverbank areas.

"Rivers are places for water, not for rubbish and settlements. They are also not places for political promises," stressed public policy observer, Agus Pambagyo.
