Protect water bodies from rubbish

The community service was attended by Koja Subdistrict officials, village heads, RT/RW administrators, the Village Deliberation Institute (LMK), Satpol PP, PPSU, the community and environmental cadres.

The sub-district government hopes that this involvement can strengthen residents' habits of not throwing rubbish into water bodies or connecting channels. Residents are also encouraged to carry out regular community service in their respective RT/RW environments.

The message places channel maintenance and waste disposal habits as part of the follow-up after cleaning the reservoir area.

The impact on flood risk has not been detailed

The statement from the North Jakarta City Government has not stated the weight of the waste transported, the volume of sediment dredged, or the surface area of ​​the water cleared of weeds.

There are also no measurement results for changes in flow fluency or storage capacity after the activity. Therefore, this clean-up can be recorded as an anticipatory measure, while the magnitude of the impact on reducing flood risk cannot yet be assessed from published information.
