The Blue Troops of the Water Resources Implementation Unit of Pesanggrahan District, South Jakarta, carry out revitalization of the water channel on Jalan Sailin I, RT 01/07, Bintaro Urban Village, Pesanggrahan District.

The Unit Coordinator, Halim said the revitalization was a rapid response to community suggestions and direct field monitoring. The improvements were made because the previous channel was deemed not optimal for accommodating water flow.

"We repaired the channel structure, which previously failed to accommodate optimal water flow or was too small. This step is crucial to ensure the channel can accommodate more water," he said, Thursday (10/22).

He explained that the channel normalization was carried out along a 75-meter length using 40-centimeter U-ditches. This material was chosen for its durability and ability to expedite the construction process.

"The work process involves five Blue Troop personnel and is targeted for completion in November," he explained.

According to him, even though some of the work is run manually, the company still prioritizes construction quality so that the channel can function optimally.

"The progress is already 50 percent," he added.

Meanwhile, one of the local residents, Daryanto admitted repairing the water channels is urgently needed considering that the residential area is often prone to flooding when it rains.

"We appreciate the Water Resources who are always committed to continuing to create residential areas that are safe, comfortable, and free from the potential for flooding," he stated.
