The Jakarta Post – 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.
