JAKARTA - The construction of the Kayan North Kalimantan Hydro Energy (KHE) Hydroelectric Power Plant (PLTA) project, which has begun to run, has also collaborated with water experts and other experts to ensure that this development does not have a negative impact on the surrounding environment.
Air and Environment Expert at Mulawarman University, Mustaqim, ensured that the construction of this dam would not affect the water ecosystem and the surrounding environment.
"It doesn't (infect the ecosystem) actually. So there are natural conditions because this stagnant process will stagnate the area that used to be mainland. There is a mixture of feels and there is a pile of soil that defense has high fertility so that when inundated it will become organic material that can become plankton and eutrophicated foods", he said in Tanjung Selor, Thursday, September 1.
Mustqim added, that in the development project, the ecosystem in the Kayan river will experience changes in conditions but will not last long because it is a natural process.
Mustaqim said that later the efficacy situation would last for 6 months to 2 years but would return to its original state.
For information, Eutrophication is an environmental problem caused by phosphate waste, especially in the freshwater ecosystem.
The basic definition is water pollution caused by the emergence of excess nutrients into the water ecosystem.
"It will only last a while and will return to its original state so it will not damage the ecosystem", he said.
