        "summary": "Indonesia's Deputy Minister for the Environment, Diaz Hendropriyono, has urged public participation in flood prevention in the Jabodetabek region by distributing biopori units and tools to 10 villages in Cisarua District, Bogor Regency, as part of World Water Day celebrations themed 'Water and Gender'. Biopori, which are infiltration holes designed to improve water absorption and maintain hydrological balance in the upper Ciliwung River Basin, are recommended for installation in every household alongside tree planting to reduce flooding risks and preserve scarce clean water resources. This initiative highlights the government's commitment to sustainable environmental management amid growing urban flood threats.",
        "content": "<p>Deputy Minister of Environment\/Deputy Head of the Environmental\nControl Agency (KLH\/BPLH), Diaz Hendropriyono, has called on the public\nto participate in preventing floods in Jabodetabek by providing aid in\nthe form of biopori units and biopori hole tools to 10 villages in\nCisarua Subdistrict. This effort was carried out during an event\ncommemorating World Water Day organised by KLH\/BPLH with the theme Water\nand Gender in Cisarua Subdistrict, Bogor Regency. \u201cToday, we are handing\nover aid in the form of biopori units and biopori hole tools to 10\nvillages, with 50 biopori units each, to prevent flooding,\u201d Diaz stated\nin his remarks on Monday (6\/4). Diaz explained that the installation of\nbiopori in the area is necessary as Cisarua Subdistrict is part of the\nupstream area of the Ciliwung River Basin (DAS), which requires\nmaintaining water balance. He encouraged the public to plant biopori\npipe units in their respective households while also planting trees.\n\u201cIdeally, every house should have a biopori unit so that there is no\npooling water, and water can directly seep into the ground, creating\nwater balance and reducing flood risks. So, it is best for every house\nto plant one tree and a biopori hole,\u201d he said. Diaz added that\nmaintaining water balance is important given the very limited amount of\nclean water. \u201cThe Earth is 71% water, but not all of that 71% can be\nused; only 2% can be used, and most of that 2% is located in the North\nand South Poles,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>",
