High precipitation intensity is one of the main causes of flood in Jakarta. When pouring rain for a long time is washed, the volume of water entering the river, and drainage channels increased sharply. If the capacity of drainage is inadequate, the water will overflow and causes flooding.
The head of the data and information center Jakarta BPBD (Kapusdatin) Mohamad Johan explained that the extreme rain that occurred at the beginning of the year caused the overload of waterways.
“Personnel capacity is not able to accommodate such large discharges of water.
In addition to the local rainfall, the water of the shipment from upstream also promotes floods in the Jakarta. Heavy rain in Bogor and the surrounding areas can lead to the overflow of the clogging of the coil and increase the discharge of the water of the Kilivung River, which then flooded the jacascart.
