View all search resultsJakarta Governor Pramono Anung is aiming to expedite the long-stalled normalization of Ciliwung River to help mitigate flooding in Greater Jakarta, following severe floods earlier last month that claimed at least nine lives.
Heavy rainfall caused the Ciliwung River to overflow, submerging homes and affecting 423 residents across 119 households in Kampung Pensiunan, Cisarua, Bogor. There were no fatalities in the incident.
Transforming the highly degraded Ciliwung into an exemplary landscape that promotes the sustainable and equitable use of water for the regions requires not only time and resources, but more importantly, continued political support and expertise through strategic partnerships with civil society, research institutions and industry
Rainwater causing overflow at the Ciliwung, the longer river in the capital, early on Tuesday has led to flooding in at least five districts of East and South Jakarta, forcing hundreds of residents to abandon their inundated houses and move to more secure ground.
