PORTALJABAR, BOGOR CITY - Since afternoon until night, Bogor City has been hit by heavy rainfall. Bogor Mayor Dedie A. Rachim said that the latest situation in the upper reaches of the Ciliwung River showed an increase in the height of the water discharge, Sunday (2/3/2024)

At Katulampa Dam, the water discharge height was recorded at 200 cm at 21.00 WIB, with Alert 2 status.

Dedie added, half an hour later, at 22.33 WIB, the water discharge height at the Katulampa Dam reached 220 cm and entered Alert 1 status.

"With this condition, the community on the banks of the Ciliwung is advised to be vigilant. The prediction is that the overflow of water will enter the Jakarta area on Monday (3/3/2025) at around 06.30 am," he said.

"For that reason, we continue to monitor the water discharge conditions at the Katulampa Dam. Hopefully, rainfall will decrease and not cause potential flooding in the Bogor, Jakarta, and surrounding areas," he said.

Dedie also highlighted the importance of cooperation between the government and the community in maintaining environmental cleanliness.

"People's habits in managing waste must be wiser, not littering, and starting to massively empower and prepare waste banks from the RT level," he said.

With these steps, the Bogor City Government (Pemkot) hopes to reduce the frequency and impact of disasters that occur every year and improve the quality of life of its citizens through a cleaner and safer environment.
