170 Sacks of Mud Lifted from Grogol Channel, Anticipating Puddles When It Rains

Ongoing maintenance to reduce risk

Channel cleaning is a step in maintaining environmental infrastructure at the residential level. In this activity, the direct target is to overcome the sediment that hampers the function of the micro channels on Jalan Rawa Bahagia VII.

Grogol Subdistrict stated that it would continue to maintain the environment and water channel infrastructure in a sustainable manner.

Although dredging is expected to help reduce the risk of inundation, the available information does not contain measurements of channel capacity before and after cleaning, or monitoring results during rain. Therefore, the removal of this mud cannot yet be used as a basis for declaring the area flood free.

For residents, the expected benefit is that the channel will return to its function of storing and channeling water. Monitoring after cleaning is needed to assess whether flooding is still occurring and which parts of the channel require further treatment.
