Floods still pose potential danger

Floods still pose potential danger

From Berita Yudha

Through the Ministry of Public Works the Jakarta administration has reportedly received a contribution of hundreds of billions of rupiah to anticipate and handle floods which may hit Jakarta.

However, this fund does not guarantee that future floods will be completely overcome. They have yet to build a dam, install water pumps, construct ditches and build water gates and flood control structures at various locations.

Another crucial factor that is closely related to floods is the community's lack of discipline and awareness of the danger of floods. Many people throw away their garbage into rivers and ditches and construct shabby huts along river banks.
