The construction of water channel on Jalan Keuangan I, RT 09/05, Cilandak Barat Urban Village, Cilandak District, South Jakarta, has been completed.

Cilandak District's Water Resource Unit Head, Yansori, said the channel construction was based on resident's request on a development forum planning or locally known as Musrenbang 2025.

"We must construct new channel since the existing was not able to flow the water smoothly, especially during a heavy rain," he said, Tuesday (6/24).

Yansori added that six Blue Taskforce personnel were deployed to construct new channel along 90 meters with 60 cm of height and 40 cm width.

"We use U-ditch with its cover to make it stronger," he added.

Meanwhile, one of local residents, Ikhsan (44) appreciated the new channel construction as the inundation solution.

"Thanks to the Cilandak District's Water Resource Unit for responding our request. Hopefully there will no more inundation here," he stated.
