High rainfall causes a number of rivers to overflow and flood, the Tangerang City Public Works and Spatial Planning (PUPR) Office of Banten City spread 230 personnel to ensure that all water flow in the city runs smoothly and regulates the opening and closing of floodgates. "Officers have been deployed to ensure that all water flows run smoothly without obstacles such as ensuring the flow of drainage is free from garbage barriers and mud deposits that usually occur frequently," said the Head of Operations and Maintenance of the PUPR Service, namely Dody Adriansyah, quoted by ANTARA, Wednesday, March 15. He said field officers had been deployed overnight to locations that could potentially be flooded from the west, east and central regions. He also stated that the PUPR Service officers who were deployed also ensured that the water discharge heights at a number of watergates in safe heights and arranged the opening of floodgates in Tangerang City.

Officers also ensure the height of water safety that has the potential to overflow from the embankment if the rain discharge continues for a long time and ensures the activeness of water pumps in all pump houses. "Of course, the preparedness of hundreds of officers owned by the Tangerang City Government still requires public concern for their respective environments. In the midst of uncertain weather, it is better for the community to care more about activating cooperation in cleaning the environment, ensuring that the flow of sewers or environmental drainage runs smoothly, and ensuring good and proper waste processing," he said.
