Gresik Flood Anticipation, Channel Sedimentation and Manual Pumps Are a Concern

Ida said technical needs, equipment deployment and budget support would still be discussed further with the deputy regent so that the work does not disrupt existing infrastructure.

For residents in potentially affected areas, follow-up dredging and operational readiness of pumps is an important part of efforts to reduce the risk of flooding. This review has not been accompanied by data on pump capacity, sedimentation volume, or work completion targets so the level of system readiness cannot yet be assessed comprehensively.

The Gresik Regency Government also invites the public to maintain the function of the channels by not throwing rubbish carelessly. This step goes hand in hand with the need to improve infrastructure to reduce the threat of flooding to residents' safety and property.
