JAKARTA - West Java Governor Dedi Mulyadi plans to involve Indonesian Navy (TNI AL) marine to guard and oversee riverbanks throughout West Java.
"Problematics on land will cause chaos at sea. That perspective is what encourages us to continuously make improvements. Re-dismantling buildings along rivers throughout the province of West Java, planting coconut trees and in the future it will be guarded by marine units," said Dedi Mulyadi as quoted by ANTARA, Wednesday, June 25.
The West Java Provincial Government handles watersheds under the Water Resources Management Office. Currently, almost all of the watersheds are covered by buildings and have gradually started to clean up.
These improvements need to be accompanied by monitoring maintenance so that in the future, after the improvement, there should not be a recurrence of buildings along the river, the riverbanks will be planted with coconut trees, then every kilometer there will be patrols that in every day monitor so that the watershed will become safe, orderly, and clean.
"This is a way to restore the glory of our land and the glory of our seas," said Dedi.
According to him, the sea is Indonesia's greatest natural wealth. But to this day, the focus of thinking of the Indonesian nation is still on land, still fighting for sustenance on land and almost releasing a large sea.
"In the upstream sector, we do not respect the river. The houses turn their backs on the river. Dispose of household waste into the river. Dispose of industrial waste into the river. And eventually it leads into the sea," he said.
