JAKARTA - President Joko Widodo asked the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government to consistently reduce flooding. Starting from river normalization to construction of giant sea wall or "giant sea wall".
"There is still such a thing as tidal flooding, the sea embankment has not been completed, from the coast here it has not been completed. It is not an easy job. But if we are consistent with it, we will reduce it, reduce it, until it finally disappears," said President Jokowi after reviewing the project for the construction of the Ciliwung River Sodetan in the East Flood Canal, Jakarta, Tuesday, January 24, as reported by Antara.
The construction of the Ciliwung River Sodetan which is targeted to function in April is projected to reduce inundation and flooding in Jakarta.

In addition to the Ciliwung River Sodetan, the normalization of 12 rivers must also continue to be carried out to maximize the reduction of inundation.
"If this is done, the business is only pump matters, those in rivers, as well as normalization of Ciliwung and normalization of the existing 12 rivers, Pesanggrahan River, Angke River, Cipinang, and others," he said.
