A worker measures the width of the river that passes the Swadaya 9 area, Cakung, East Jakarta on Monday. The river that connects to the currently-under-construction East Flood Canal has flooded the area, eroding the foundations of nearby houses. Three houses collapsed due to the constant flooding last week, while another five have been submerged for days.
