JAKARTA - This is the Cishoot Ampel spring located on Jalan Aster, Sukmajaya, which has been rediscovered. The Cishoot Ampel spring, which is located next to the Ciliwung River, was discovered after 40 years of being covered with soil and trees. Initially this spring served as a source of irrigation in 1914 by the great-grandfather of this community. However, it is no longer used and the land around it will be made into housing for Mahmud, the vice chairman of the Cishoot Ampel community who is also the great-grandson of the inventor of the spring a long time ago. The unique thing about this spring is that the flow goes upwards, so it is called Cishoot. While ampel is a bamboo tree that grows in that location. The community hopes that the government will pay attention so that later this spring becomes ecotourism for the people of Depok. Watch the full video below.
