Jakarta Governor, Pramono Anung ensured the Jakarta Provincial Government has prepared water pumps to anticipate flooding when Jakarta is entering the rainy season.
There are three types of flooding in Jakarta
"There are three types of flooding in Jakarta. First, local flooding caused by rivers being clogged with trash and other things," he said.
Pramono explained that the Jakarta Provincial Government keeps dredging channels and rivers in the last three months to minimize flood risk.
According to him, Jakarta Provincial Government has 600 stationary pumps that are placed in flood to prone areas. Moreover, mobile pumps are also prepared to face local and flash floods.
"Local flooding, flash flooding, or tidal flooding caused by high tides combined with rain require extra careful handling. Hopefully, even if flooding does occur, it can be resolved within three to six hours," he stated.
