KUDUS - The Kudus Regency Government (Pemkab) in Central Java, proposed the construction of a retention pond in Dukuh Goleng, Pasuruhan Lor Village, Jati District, to the central government, because the area is prone to flooding and a retention pond is one of the efforts to overcome the potential for flooding every rainy season.

"The normalization of the Wulan River has been carried out and the results are no longer exacerbating the flood in Dukuh Gendok. However, when heavy rainfall still floods, such as now, some of the residents are again displaced," said Kudus Regent Sam'ani Intakoris, quoted by Antara, Kamsi January 15.

He hopes that the government can help build a retention pond again, after previously helping build a retention pond in Dukuh Gendok, Jati Wetan Village, Jati District, Kudus.

The Dukuh Goleng area, he said, is a basin area, so every flood is prone to flooding.

Meanwhile, the Acting Head of the Public Works and Spatial Planning (PUPR) Office of Kudus Regency, Harry Wibowo, revealed that the proposal for a retention pond in Dukuh Goleng, Pasuruhan Lor Village, had been proposed in writing to the central government.

"Previous experience when we proposed the construction of a retention pond in Jati Wetan Village, the central government when agreeing to go to the field to ensure the availability of land," said Harry Wibowo.

In Dukuh Goleng, he said, there was enough land, so when the proposal was approved there were no problems with land.

He hopes that the proposal will be approved, so that the annual flooding in Dukuh Goleng can be resolved. This can be seen from the construction of a retention pond in Jati Wetan Village which can reduce the annual flooding that usually occurs since the beginning of the rainy season.
