        "summary": "The Badung Regency Government has earmarked Rp 14 billion to overhaul drainage networks in North Kuta, targeting chronic flooding along key tourist routes. The project involves widening channels and increasing capacity at flood-prone points on Jalan Kerobokan, Jalan Basangkasa, and Jalan Umalas. Officials say rapid development and sedimentation have reduced the existing drains' ability to cope with heavy rainfall.",
        "content": "<p>The Badung Regency Government (Pemkab) has prepared a budget of Rp 14\nbillion for reorganising water channels in the North Kuta area. The\nirrigation network improvement project is expected to provide a solution\nto the standing water that frequently occurs during heavy rain.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe must move quickly to handle this flood control, it must be\nintegrated through the repair of existing channels,\u201d said the Head of\nthe Badung Public Works and Spatial Planning Agency (PUPR), I Nyoman R\nKaryasa, on Sunday (21\/6\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will immediately reorganise the drainage network, including\nwidening channel cross-sections at points that have long been\nflood-prone locations. The targets are along Jalan Kerobokan, Jalan\nBasangkasa, and Jalan Umalas,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Karyasa explained that the project, which requires a budget of more\nthan Rp 14 billion, includes increasing channel capacity. This is\nexpected to reduce the frequency of standing water so that the\nactivities of residents and road users in the tourist area are no longer\ndisrupted by flooding.<\/p>\n<p>According to Karyasa, the water channel repairs need to be carried\nout immediately because the drainage capacity can no longer accommodate\nwater overflow during high rainfall.<\/p>\n<p>The Badung PUPR Agency identified that flooding in the North Kuta\narea is triggered by sedimentation at the bottom of channels and the\nnarrowing of cross-sections due to massive development. Currently, the\nflood control project is still in the tender stage and is targeted for\ncompletion in the near future.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis area is indeed a main route connected to several strategic\nareas in North Kuta. The problem becomes more pronounced during the\nrainy season, with standing water invariably appearing at certain points\non road sections and even in residential areas. This needs to be handled\nquickly,\u201d Karyasa stated.<\/p>",
