Jakarta river flood mitigation

Entities: Dudi Gardesi · Pramono Anung · Brian Yuliarto · Kali Sentiong River · Indonesian National Police

Overview

In mid‑July 2026 Jakarta’s provincial government reported progress on the Ciliwung River normalization project in the Cawang district. Of the 170 households slated for relocation, 62 had completed compensation and demolition, enabling the next construction phase that will widen the river and add a flood‑control bund to cut flood risk by up to 40 %.

Later that month, the city’s Central district administration cleared 61 illegal structures along a 1.2‑km stretch of the Kali Sentiong riverbank in Senen. The demolition, carried out by a joint task force of municipal agencies, police and military personnel, was aimed at restoring the river’s flow and supporting flood‑control measures. Following clearance, authorities plan to install sheet piles and develop a green public space along the bank.

Both actions illustrate Jakarta’s ongoing strategy of land acquisition, river widening, removal of encroachments, and infrastructure upgrades to strengthen flood resilience across multiple waterways.
