Flooding struck again

Jakarta should be flood free in 2018, says minister – Public Works

and Public Housing Minister Basuki Hadimuljono has said that
Jakarta will be flood free by 2018, particularly if flood mitigation
projects along the Ciliwung River finish on schedule.

The projects include the construction of the Ciliwung tunnel connecting

West Flood Canal (BKB) and East Flood Canal (BKT) that will split water
flowing from the Ciliwung River as well as the expansion of the capacity
of the Ciliwung River, the longest river in the capital.
Once the process of the Ciliwung River normalization and the
construction of the Ciliwung tunnel are finished, the floods will recede,’
said Basuki as reported by tribunnews.com on Tuesday.
According to Basuki, the flood mitigation projects being implemented
along the Ciliwung River and Ciliwung Tunnel could reduce the volume
of flow around Kampung Pulo to 440 cubic meters from 570 cubic
meters per second during peak rainy season.Jakarta should be flood
