SURABAYA - Deputy Mayor of Surabaya Armuji together with the leadership of PT Pelabuhan Indonesia (Persero) or Pelindo Regional 3 visited Kalimas Port, City of Heroes, East Java, to anticipate the impact of tidal flooding.
"The Surabaya City Government has mapped areas affected by the tidal flood, including in the Romokalisari, Kalimas, Kalianak, Kenjeran and Bulak areas," Deputy Mayor Armuji said as quoted by Antara, Wednesday, May 25.
According to him, at the tidal flood-prone areas, monitoring will be carried out by the Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) of the city of Surabaya as well as the local sub-district and village heads.
In addition, Armuji said, there was an increase in vigilance at a number of floodgates. If seawater discharge increases, he continued, the Surabaya Highways and Water Resources Service (DBMSDA) will temporarily close the floodgates to prevent water overflow.
"I also appreciate Pelindo which will carry out dredging in the Kalimas Harbor river flow. Furthermore, optimizing the Petekan floodgate and normalizing the Kalimas River is the work of the Surabaya City Government in coordination with the Brantas River Basin Center," said Armuji.
Meanwhile, General Manager of Kalimas, Passenger Terminal and Ro-Ro of PT Pelabuhan Indonesia (Persero) Java Sub-Regional Dhany Rachmat Agustian said Pelindo had normalized the channel to prevent inundation.
It's just that, he continued, the water debit that has risen recently is quite large. Meanwhile, the rising water to the mainland, said Dany, is also influenced by the high activity of ships at the port.
Dany said, there are a number of solutions that will be taken to prevent tidal flooding at the port, one of which is dredging the Kalimas Port.
"Dredging cannot be carried out this year. The activity may only start in 2023," said Dany.
