The ministry forecast that the water level will rise to 7.65 metre in Stung Treng province, 16.7 metre in Kratie province, and 9.9 metres in Kampong Cham province.

This phenomenon is due to changing weather conditions and the influence of a low-pressure system causing heavy rainfall in the Mekong River basin, it explained.

Although the water level has not yet reached an alarming rate, but some low-lying areas along the river might be flooded, the ministry said, calling on people to stay vigilant./.

Jakarta (ANTARA) – President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) stated that completion of the Ciliwung River Waterway (sodetan) can resolve 62 percent of the flood problems afflicting Jakarta City.”With the Ciliwung Waterway, (most of) Jakarta’s flood problems can be resolved,” Jokowi said at the launch of the waterway in Jatinegara here on Monday. However, he reminded that construction of the Ciawi and Sukamahi dams, the Ciliwung Waterway, the Ciliwung River normalization efforts, and the East Flood Canal can only handle about 62 percent of the flood problems in Jakarta. The president explained that 38 percent of the flood problems in the capital city still had to be solved by the central government and the Jakarta Provincial Government. “There is still 38 percent of ‘homework’ that must be done together by the Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR) Ministry and the Jakarta Provincial Government, as this is a very complex issue,” Jokowi remarked. With the existence of the Ciliwung Waterway, Jokowi stated that at least six villages in Jakarta will no longer experience flooding. “The Ciliwung Waterway had been constructed for almost 11 years, and today, Alhamdulillah (Thank God), it is finished. This can at least end flooding in six villages,” he said. The president emphasized that the flood handling in Jakarta should be carried out from upstream to downstream levels. “It cannot be carried out at the downstream only. Hence, we completed the construction of Ciawi Dam and the Sukamahi Dam in 2022,” he noted. Jokowi said that the government does not solely work towards the proper handling of the Ciliwung River in Jakarta. “There are 12 other rivers, such as Sunter River, Cipinang River, Baru Barat River, Baru Timur River, Mookervart River, and Pesanggrahan River, that also need to be handled properly,” he explained. The president also drew attention to the issue of coastal flooding that had yet to be addressed properly and stressed that flooding problems in the capital city must be handled comprehensively.

Jakarta (ANTARA) – President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) has instructed related ministries and agencies as well as the local government to immediately take measures to deal with the effects of extreme weather in Central Papua Province.Jokowi made the statement in response to a question from the media regarding the government’s efforts to manage the extreme weather phenomenon experienced in Puncak District, Central Papua, that had resulted in harvesting failures and famine. “I have instructed PMK (Human Development and Cultural Affairs) Coordinating Minister, Social Affairs Minister, BNPB (National Disaster Mitigation Agency), and the local government in the region to tackle the issue as soon as possible,” he said after inaugurating the Ciliwung sewer in Jakarta on Monday. On the occasion, the president also outlined several factors that had been making matters difficult in the province. “It should be noted that the problem is that the province is home to a specific area, which lies at a very high altitude, where no plants can grow in the event of snowfall,” he stressed. The president also highlighted issues related to security that hinder the process of aid distribution to local communities, saying that planes carrying aid are occasionally prevented from landing due to security-related constraints. “For that reason, I have earlier asked TNI (the Indonesian Defense Forces) to help escort (the aid distribution process). Pilots hesitate to make a landing due to the difficulty. This is a recurring problem in the region,” he pointed out. Central Papua Province, especially its Puncak District, has been experiencing the extreme weather phenomenon since June 2023, thereby leading to planted crops failing to grow and resulting in famine that ultimately claimed six lives.
