According to her, even the best infrastructure will not be\noptimal without community participation in keeping the environment\nclean.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe ask residents not to throw rubbish into the river flow. Smooth\nwater flow is our collective responsibility,\u201d she stressed.<\/p>\n<p>At the same location, Acting Head of the West Jakarta Water Resources\nSub-Department, Mustajab, explained that this monitoring is a follow-up\nto tracing the triggers of pooling in the Kembangan intersection area\ncaused by the Kali Angke overflow.<\/p>\n<p>Although it has been decided to build a channel along the Outer Ring\nRoad towards the Kali Angke, temporary emergency handling is needed.<\/p>\n<p>The suction action using tank trucks and floating pumps carried out\nas on Tuesday (5\/5) yesterday required time, so the pooling receded\nslowly.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, they, together with the West Jakarta Mayor, continue to\nseek emergency solutions before the new channel construction is\nrealised.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe solution is that the Mayor plans to carry out a rubbish raid\ndownstream of the channel to the Kali Angke this weekend,\u201d he\nemphasised.<\/p>",
