Preventing flooding in Jakarta

Preventing flooding in Jakarta

From Suara Karya

Although the dry season (April to October) is no upon us, we
still have occasional rain in Jakarta. Recently, it rained so
hard in the city that many places were flooded.

To make sure that the danger of flooding is minimized, the
Jakarta administration should actively encourage residents to
keep their neighborhoods clean. And dredging must be carried out
to ensure that the city's rivers, lakes, gutters and ditches can
handle the rainwater and allow it to flow unimpeded.
