Most of the capital Jakarta flooded, Tuesday (15/01/2013). The threat of flooding will continue because of the high water level in the upstream Ciliwung River.
Tuesday morning, the surface of the Ciliwung River touched 210 cm which means Alert 1. In Depok, this time, the surface is also worrying time for show number 380 cm, 2 flood alert.
"Currently, the most worrisome threat of flooding along the banks of the Ciliwung River. Hopefully all the people there aware of," said Head of Water Resources of Jakarta Public Works Agency, Rifig Abdullah.
Not only that, sea levels are also high. Tuesday morning, the surface shows the 200 cm or Standby 2. Normal numbers sea level in northern Jakarta is 110 cm.
As a result, the flow of water to the north of Jakarta faltered as in Kali Mookevart, West Jakarta. "There was a time the flood water that flooded the road Mookevart Daan. Addition to the high sea, local rainfall before going fairly dense. This adds a lot of overflow times," said Rifig.
Public Works Administration tried to reduce the pool in Jalan Daan by installing a pump to move in the region. Stagnant banished to time though Mookevart temporarily suspended due to high sea levels, but slowly the river water will recede. "It is long since held receding sea water," said Rifig.
Officers also optimize operating three pumps in Ancol to reduce or avoid the puddles in the area of Gunung Sahari.
I am blogging on the plight of Jakarta to show that the flooding is not just rain swelling the river, but that the ground level has fallen throughout the entire Sunda plate. I need picture of the permanent flooding of the seafront. Can anyone send me some images? The more the merrier.
