The collapse of the Kaliombo River caused flooding to inundate the northern coastal route (Pantura) Pati. As a result, traffic congestion occurred on the route on Monday 19 December.
According to the Chief Executive of the Pati BPBD, Martinus Budi Prasetya, the main factor causing the flood was the urgency of reforestation in the Kendeng Mountains.
"If it is not handled immediately, of course every rainy season will cause flooding in the lower areas, especially along the river flow that accommodates water from the mountainous area," he said in Pati, Monday, December 19, quoted from Antara.
The collapse of the Kaliombo River embankment in Ketitang Wetang Village, Batangan District, Pati Regency, Central Java, on Friday, December 16, was also a flow with rivers overflowing on the Pantura Line.
The damage to the embankment has also been repaired by the construction of a temporary embankment.
To repair the damaged embankment, it involved the Pemali Juana River Basin Center (BBWS) and the Public Works and Spatial Planning Agency (DPUPR) so that the process would be faster so as not to run over into residential areas.
Kusrin, a resident of Ketitang Wetan Village, revealed that the height of the flood inundation on the road reached 20 centimeters, resulting in traffic congestion because passing vehicles had to reduce their speed.
In addition, he said, there are also many holes that connect Central Java Province with East Java, so motorists must be careful.
He estimates that the water will begin to overflow onto the highway around Monday, December 19 at 02.00 WIB, after heavy rains fell on the Kendeng Mountains area.
In addition to causing flooding on the highway, the flood also submerged road access in residential areas of Ketitang Wetan Village with varying heights.
