        "content": "<p>The Candigara River in Kampung Kusamba Village, Dawan District,\nKlungkung, Bali, has begun to be dredged. The dredging is being carried\nout to address siltation. The shallow condition of the river often\ncauses water to overflow during the rainy season.<\/p>\n<p>Head of the Klungkung Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD), I\nPutu Widiada, stated that the dredging is being conducted in stages to\nprevent flooding that frequently inundates residential areas. \u201cThe\ndredging is being done in stages. The first stage runs from west of the\nDawan Police Station heading north. The third day is focused on\ntransporting the dredged material to a collection point,\u201d Widiada said\non Wednesday (24\/6\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>The second stage of dredging continues in the area of the Panca\nMahottama Regional Drinking Water Company (Perumdam) pump heading south,\nwhich is still part of the normalisation flow. Subsequently, the third\nstage will be carried out east of the BRI Bank, followed by the\nconstruction of a bypass channel at Segara Beach to smooth the river\nflow to the sea.<\/p>\n<p>Klungkung Regent I Made Satria directly inspected the Candigara River\ndredging process. Satria emphasised that the river normalisation effort\nis being carried out over 60 working days. \u201cThe river normalisation\ntarget is 60 working days. Rivers indicated as causing flooding will be\ncompleted. I hope that in the future the community can be at ease,\u201d said\nSatria.<\/p>\n<p>After the Candigara River, the Klungkung BPBD will continue\nnormalisation at the Karangdadi River, the Kusamba Village alley flow,\nand the river channel from Pikat\u2014which has been flooding farmers\u2019 rice\nfields\u2014towards Yeh Banges.<\/p>\n<p>Satria confirmed that the dredging process is being conducted through\na series of coordination meetings with local residents and the National\nLand Agency (BPN). This effort is undertaken to determine precise\ndredging points so as not to encroach on residents\u2019 land rights.<\/p>\n<p>Following the normalisation, Satria plans to arrange the riverbanks\ninto a public space. \u201cThe hope is that MSMEs will grow, making it a\nproductive and income-generating place for the village, the region, and\nthe local community,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p>Detailed planning regarding the riverbank arrangement will be\ncoordinated with the Bali-Penida River Basin Office (BWS). Satria\nstressed that the Klungkung Regency Government will carry out the\narrangement according to their respective authorities once the design is\napproved.<\/p>",
