Mampang River Embankment Collapsed Resulting In Floods Up To 1.2 Meters
JAKARTA - Jakarta has been under rain since last night, causing flooding. There is even an embankment that broke down in the Mampang River stream, South Jakarta due to being unable to withstand water runoff.
This was confirmed by the Head of Mampang Prapatan Sub-district, Djaharudin. Djaharudin said the Mampang River embankment was burst causing flooding in Mampang Prapatan District to a height of 1.2 meters.
"The Mampang River embankment broke this morning. The water discharged is really big. In Mampang District, the floods are up to 1.2 meters," Djaharudin told VOI, Saturday, February 20.
Djaharudin said, there were two factors that caused flooding in the Mampang Prapatan area. First, the high intensity of rain since last night. Second, water delivery from the upstream area flowing to Kali Mampang.
"The flood in Mampang is also due to the intensity of heavy rain, plus the flow of water from the upstream. So, the river is overflowing. The one in Mampang River has not been accommodated," he said.
Currently, a number of Mampang Prapatan residents have fled to the Mampang Prapatan District Office and the nearest mosque.
The flood also inundated the Mampang Prapatan underpass. In fact, the Mampang underpass was closed this morning because the water had not receded. Not only that, but floods also hit Kemang, Pejaten, Kapten Tendean, and so on.
