Jakarta - The West Jakarta City Government is prioritizing flood control in 19 areas by increasing pump capacity and dredging rivers in its area.
West Jakarta Mayor Uus Kuswanto said flood control was one of the priorities of the 2,571 proposals from the Village Development Planning Conference (Musrenbang) which were then verified in stages.
"There are 19 flood-prone areas that will be addressed by increasing pump capacity, building water gates and dredging 12 segments such as channels, rivers and connecting channels," said Uus in Jakarta, Friday.
