        "summary": "The Bandung Regency government is preparing a 16-hectare retention lake to mitigate flooding in the Citarum River Basin. Half the land was donated by businesses under a pentahelix partnership, while the regency provided the remainder. The project complements river normalisation works by the Citarum River Basin Agency starting late June to protect downstream areas.",
        "content": "<p>The Bandung Regency Government in West Java has set aside\napproximately 16 hectares of land for the construction of a retention\nlake as part of flood control efforts in the Citarum River Basin (DAS).\nRegency Head Dadang Supriatna stated on Wednesday that 11 hectares of\nthe total retention lake land came from pentahelix element support in\nTegalluar. \u201cRegarding flood management, I previously proposed two\nlocations for small reservoirs or retention lakes. Through the support\nof pentahelix elements, a businessperson prepared an 11-hectare plot in\nTegalluar as a grant,\u201d he said. He added that his administration had\nprepared five hectares in the Sukamana area, bringing the total to\napproximately 16 hectares for a flood-control water catchment zone. The\nland is planned to become a retention lake that will function to hold\nwater runoff during periods of heavy rainfall in order to reduce flood\nrisks in downstream areas of the Citarum River Basin. Flood management\nis also being strengthened through the acceleration of river\nnormalisation by the Citarum River Basin Agency (BBWS Citarum), targeted\nto begin at the end of June, particularly in estuary areas. \u201cBBWS has\nconveyed that, God willing, river normalisation will be carried out at\nthe end of June, especially in the estuary area. The Citarum River Task\nForce will also coordinate technically in the field according to its\nwork area,\u201d he stated. Dadang stressed that all handling measures must\nbe carried out in a coordinated manner so they do not proceed\nsporadically and deliver optimal impact on the ground. \u201cThe entire\nprocess must be discussed and coordinated between BBWS, the Task Force,\nand the Citarum River Task Force to ensure it proceeds in a directed\nmanner,\u201d he said.<\/p>",
