Jakarta (B2B) - Warga Jakarta harus siaga menghadapi banjir akibat meluapnya Sungai Ciliwung setelah hujan lebat di Puncak dan Bogor, Jawa Barat pada Rabu sore (21/11). Air dari Bogor kemungkinan akan mencapai Jakarta pukul 4 pagi pada Kamis.
Ketinggian air di Pintu Air Katulampa, Bogor telah mengkhawatirkan dengan ketinggian mencapai 100 cm, sehingga statusnya naik ke Waspada level tiga, kata Kepala Katulampa, Andi Sudirman.
"Ketinggian air telah meningkat sejak jam tiga sore dan telah mencapai 100 sentimeter pada pukul 17:10 Wib," katanya.
Katulampa adalah pintu yang mengukur debit air yang mengalir ke Sungai Ciliwung, yang melintasi sejumlah tempat di Jakarta. Debit air yang berlebihan mengakibatkan beberapa kawasan di Jakarta berisiko banjir.
Andi meminta warga yang tinggal di tepi Sungai Ciliwung di Jakarta untuk tetap waspada karena air dari Bogor kemungkinan akan mencapai Jakarta pukul 4 pagi pada Kamis.
Jakarta (B2B) - Jakartans should brace for floods as the Ciliwung River overflew after heavy rains pounded Puncak and Bogor in West Java on Wednesday afternoon. Water from Bogor would likely reach Jakarta at 4 a.m. on Thursday.
The water levels at sluice gates at Katulampa in Bogor reached an alarming 100 centimeters, raising its status to alert level 3, said head of the gate, Andi Sudirman, as quoted by tempo.co.
“The water levels have been increasing since 3 p.m. and reached 100 centimeters at 5:10 p.m.,” he said.
Katulampa gate holds a water debit that flows into Ciliwung River, which crosses many parts of Jakarta. The excessive water debit at the gate could put some areas of the city at risk for flooding.
Andi called on residents living on the banks of the Ciliwung River in Jakarta to remain alert as water from Bogor would likely reach Jakarta at 4 a.m. on Thursday.
