        "summary": "The Jakarta Provincial Government is installing five giant pumps in Ancol, North Jakarta, to enhance flood control against tidal surges in coastal areas. This addition will boost the local water management system's capacity from 15 to 40 cubic metres per second, integrating with a central government system to reach a total of 80 cubic metres per second across a 2,000-hectare catchment area. As part of the broader Jaktirta Project, the initiative aims to transform Ancol into a major polder system covering 5,000 hectares, with operations targeted to commence in 2027, including partial functionality by Jakarta's Anniversary in May.",
        "content": "<p>The Jakarta Provincial Government (Pemprov DKI Jakarta) is adding\nfive giant pumps in the Ancol area, North Jakarta, to control tidal\nflooding in coastal regions. Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung Wibowo\nstated that this addition will increase the water management system\u2019s\ncapacity, particularly in flood-prone areas such as Pademangan and\nGunung Sahari. \u201cCurrently, the capacity at this location is around 15\ncubic metres per second or 15,000 litres per second. We will add five\npumps, each with a capacity of five cubic metres per second or 5,000\nlitres per second, bringing the total to around 40 cubic metres per\nsecond or 40,000 litres per second,\u201d Pramono said after inspecting the\nconstruction of the Ancol Pump House Water Management System in\nPademangan, North Jakarta, on Tuesday. Furthermore, Pramono explained\nthat the pump system in the area will be integrated with pumps owned by\nthe central government in Sentiong Ancol, which also have a capacity of\naround 40 cubic metres per second or 40,000 litres per second. Thus, the\ntotal water control capacity in the Ancol and surrounding areas will\nreach around 80 cubic metres per second or 80,000 litres per second. \u201cIf\nthis can be implemented, it will be very beneficial in addressing the\nflooding issues that have occurred in the Ancol and surrounding areas,\nwith a catchment area of around 2,000 hectares,\u201d Pramono clarified.\nMeanwhile, the Head of the Jakarta Water Resources Agency (SDA), Ika\nAgustin, explained that this project is part of the Jaktirta Project,\nwhich will be built in five areas of Jakarta. In the Ancol area, the\npump system will be strengthened with the addition of five new pump\nunits to support the three existing pumps that are currently\noperational. \u201cThere are currently three existing units here, each with\nfive cubic metres per second. We will add five more pumps, so the total\nat this location will be around 40 cubic metres per second,\u201d Ika\nexplained. In the future, the Ancol area will be developed into a large\npolder system covering up to around 5,000 hectares. Water from that area\nwill be channelled and discharged directly into the sea as part of an\nintegrated flood control system. Ika said the project has been\ncontracted since December 2025 and is targeted to start operating in\n2027. In addition, the Provincial Government of DKI targets that part of\nthe system can already be operational in May 2027, coinciding with\nJakarta Anniversary Day.<\/p>",
