High intensity rain flushed Pati Regency, Central Java (Central Java) today Friday, December 16. As a result, the Kaliombo River embankment collapsed 10 meters long.
Village Secretary Ketitang Wetan Ismail said residents' houses around the embankment located in Ketitang Wetan Village, Batangan District were submerged in water.
According to him, the embankment broke in the early hours of Friday, December 16, triggered by the Kendeng Mountains to go straight down without being absorbed by the reforestation tree due to its reduced vegetation.
As a result, he said, the water discharge was too high, causing the river embankment to be unable to hold it so that the embankment broke along 10 meters.
Ismail also estimates that hundreds of houses were flooded due to the Kaliombo River embankment which was unable to withstand the water discharge, causing it to burst.
He said the height of the flood inundation that submerged the residents' settlements was estimated to be between 50-70 cm.
Until now, local residents are still trying to build an emergency embankment, even though they have to hit the flood.
Residents hope that a number of embankments that are prone to breaking will become a concern for both the local government and the Pemali Juana River Basin Center (BBWS).
Ismail admitted that the Pati Regency Government had initiated reforestation in Kendeng Mountains by planting 5,000 tree seedlings in the Tambakromo Pati Forest Management Unit (KPH) area as an effort to minimize the impact of the flood disaster.
