Critics Related to The Plan
Cost
Investment cost (more than 200 Trillion rupiah)
Operating, Repairing, Maintenance cost?

Time
10 years prediction
More years for fully available facilities

Environment
Designed to be fully enclosed embankment
Reduce the water quality
Marine ecosystem degradation
Alternative Solution
Flood Reduction
Conserve the upland areas to reduce runoff
Dredging sediment load in the canal
Elevating the river dikes to maximize the capacity

Flood Prevention
Using the river easement wisely
Cleaning the river from rubbish to prevent
clogging of the waterways
Building the seawall alongside the coastline
