The Government of Karawang Regency, West Java, has lowered several heavy equipment to deal with piles of garbage that clog the river flow in Rawagempol Kulon Village, causing flooding in the area.
"Heavy equipment immediately went down to clean up the garbage in Rawagempol Kulon Village, Cilamaya Wetan District. The goal is that the water can flow smoothly, so it doesn't overflow inundating people's houses," said Karawang Regent Cellica Nurrachadiana, quoted on Sunday.
He decided to lower the heavy equipment after receiving a report that the flood in Rawagempol Kulon Village was caused by a river flow blocked by Pertamina's pipe that crossed the river.
River water in the area also overflows because there is quite a lot of garbage piles.
The report was received when the regent distributed aid to flood-affected residents in Astina Hamlet, Rawagempol Kulon Village, Cilamaya Wetan District.
Meanwhile, according to data from the local Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD), at the beginning of last week, floods in Karawang had submerged 19,813 housing units spread across 28 Karawang.
In addition, the flood disaster also submerged 20 educational facilities, 34 places of worship and thousands of hectares of rice fields.
However, it is now reported that most of the flood locations have begun to recede.
The flood disaster occurred due to high rainfall accompanied by the overflow of a number of rivers in the Karawang area.
The Karawang Regional Secretary, Acep Jamhuri, said that his party had asked the central government to normalize or dredge rivers in anticipation of preventing the overflow of water from a number of subsidiaries of the Citarum River.
"We have submitted recommendations regarding river normalization as an anticipatory measure to prevent the increase in water volume in a number of subsidiaries of the Citarum River," he said.
He conveyed that the recommendation was submitted as input for the planning of the Citarum Watershed (DAS) program for the Coordinating Ministry for Maritime Affairs and Investment of the Republic of Indonesia through the Citarum Watershed Task Force.
The normalization of the Citarum tributary is considered necessary as part of flood disaster management efforts in a number of areas around Karawang.
