Flood mitigation efforts in Indonesia

Overview

Indonesian authorities are deploying various infrastructure and technological measures to mitigate flooding in major urban centers. In Jakarta, the provincial government has allocated Rp2.62 trillion for the Jaktirta project, which involves constructing polders, pumps, reservoirs, and coastal embankments across 23 locations to combat tidal flooding.

In Semarang, officials are preparing to deploy ‘Flood Eye,’ an artificial intelligence-based detection system designed to provide flood predictions two to three hours in advance using sensors to monitor water levels and rainfall.

Further mitigation efforts in Jakarta include dredging sediment in the Kali Mookervaart and plans to dismantle an unused, low-clearance bridge to prevent trash accumulation.
