Badung Regency Government (Pemkab Badung) in collaboration with\nstate-owned Perumdam Tirta Mangutama is working to convert flood\noverflow water into clean water through deployment of portable\nMembrane-Based Non-Revenue Water Processing (NPR) technology.<\/p>\n
Badung Regent I Wayan Adi Arnawa stated that this initiative\nsimultaneously addresses the regency\u2019s flood management strategy.\nAccording to him, rainwater runoff in strategic areas is being collected\nand processed to prevent waste flowing into the sea whilst providing\nbenefits to residents.<\/p>\n
\u201cFlood water will not simply be discharged into the sea but will be\nprocessed into reserves of clean drinking water. With this technology,\nflood management in Badung becomes more productive,\u201d Adi Arnawa said\nwhilst attending the Bali Clean Rubbish Movement at Petitenget Beach on\nSunday, 1 March 2026.<\/p>\n
Badung Regency has allocated 266 billion rupiah in 2026 to resolve\nflooding at chronic points such as Jalan Dewi Sri. This substantial\nfunding is earmarked specifically for river widening, drainage\nimprovement, and construction of water retention reservoirs.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are focusing this significant budget on improving basic\ninfrastructure to ensure smoother water flow. Construction of water\nretention reservoirs is also a priority as containers for rainwater\nduring periods of high rainfall intensity,\u201d explained Adi Arnawa.<\/p>\n
Acting Head of the Public Works and Spatial Planning Department\n(PUPR) Badung, Anak Agung Rama Putra, revealed that in addition to\ndrainage improvement, Badung Regency is also beginning to construct a\nlong-term storage system to strengthen flood control in the southern\nregion, particularly Kuta District. Pump station projects and Tukad Mati\nriver channel protection are already at the tender stage.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are currently in the tendering process for several flood control\ninfrastructure projects. We are also preparing supporting projects to\nincrease drainage capacity at vulnerable points such as Basangkasa and\nSunset Road,\u201d said Rama Putra.<\/p>\n
The budget ceiling for the Tukad Mati river channel flood control\nconstruction supervision package reaches 846.5 million rupiah sourced\nfrom Badung\u2019s 2026 Regional Budget (APBD). The project includes capital\nexpenditure on river protection structures and disaster mitigation\nmeasures to anticipate future water overflow.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is part of our commitment to accelerate coastal area\nprotection. The work will cover the area from Jalan Campuhan to Jalan\nPandawa district, which has frequently experienced flooding,\u201d added Rama\nPutra.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/badung-regency-and-perumdam-to-transform-flood-water-into-clean-water-1772376848", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
