Bearing in mind, the regulations that will be ratified into regional regulations (perda) contain criminal articles for all parties who litter. "“There needs to be an emphasis on integration factors in the information system regarding the management of this wastewater. So that regulations are not only known in the scope of wastewater management,” said Member of the Bapemperda of the DKI Jakarta DPRD, Dwi Rio Sambodo in his statement, Monday, July 8.
