Two Reservoirs in Cipayung Hold 36,550 Cubic Meters of Water, Become Public Spaces

Sports Room to Additional Storage

The second embung area is equipped with a waste water treatment plant, jogging track, children's playground, community hall, multifunctional field, as well as a sunken plaza or lower level courtyard.

The courtyard can be used for community activities when conditions are dry and functions as an additional water reservoir when it rains.

The combination of facilities allows the reservoir area to be used as a public interaction space as well as water control infrastructure. The public can use the facilities for free.

Pramono asked that the area be maintained properly so that the water reservoir function and visitor comfort are maintained.

He emphasized that flood control requires continuous prevention. The DKI Jakarta Provincial Government therefore continues to develop embungs, reservoirs and normalize rivers, as well as looking at the potential for additional embungs in East Jakarta.

Residents Hope the Risk of Flooding is Reduced

Chairman of RW 06 Cipayung Village, Amid Suminar, welcomed the existence of the two reservoirs. He hopes that this facility will help reduce the risk of flooding while providing a place for residents to exercise and do activities.

"Yes, hopefully this reservoir can be useful, both for anticipating floods and also useful for sports facilities, jogging and so on," he said.
