The Jakarta Regional House of Representatives (DPRD DKI) supports and\noversees the development of the piped water network as an effort to\nimprove access to quality clean water services for the community. Chair\nof Commission D of DPRD DKI Jakarta, Yuke Yurike, stated that through\nits oversight and budgeting functions, the council is pushing for the\nacceleration of piped drinking water service coverage expansion so that\nmore residents can obtain a supply of safe, proper, and sustainable\nwater.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe DPRD is committed to ensuring that the budget allocation for\nwater network development is on target and provides benefits to the\nwider community, especially low-income groups,\u201d Yuke said in a written\nstatement on Wednesday (10\/6\/2026). The DPRD also continues to supervise\nvarious piped water network development programmes. She explained that\nthis aims to extend service coverage to areas that remain unserved.\n\u201cRegarding the pipe installation that has been budgeted for,\u201d she\nstated.<\/p>\n
She said clean water services must side with ordinary people, as well\nas serving industrial needs. Access to clean water is a basic right that\nmust be a priority for the regional government. \u201cIt must be\nprioritised,\u201d Yuke asserted.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, President Director of PT PAM Jaya (Perseroda), Arief\nNasrudin, said the utilisation of technology represents an effort to\naddress the ever-increasing challenge of supplying clean water. Research\nand development must be undertaken continuously, given that innovation\nin the water management sector is constantly evolving.<\/p>\n
One technological development is the use of equipment capable of\ncapturing water content from the air, processing it into ready-to-drink\nwater. This technology works by utilising the water content found in the\natmosphere. \u201cCapturing water droplets from the air and processing them,\u201d\nArief revealed. The technology is planned to become part of a Water Hub\nor Water Station facility. Placement is slated for the Sudirman-Thamrin\ncorridor.<\/p>\n
Eventually, the public will be able to access drinking water directly\nand free of charge in that area. Currently, the construction of the\nfacility is still in the preparatory stage. The working principle of\natmospheric water capture technology is not much different from the\ncondensation process in air conditioners. Several African countries have\nalready used similar technology. \u201cBecause their water sources are\ndifficult to obtain, it has ultimately been made into one of the water\nsources for pipe installation,\u201d Arief concluded.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/jakarta-council-backs-piped-water-network-expansion-1781094016", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
