The Deputy Governor of East Kalimantan, H. Seno Aji, urged the Balai Wilayah Sungai (BWS) and the Samarinda City Government to immediately collaborate in optimizing the Benanga Reservoir for flood control.
A 20-hectare area around the reservoir is expected to accommodate 500-600 thousand cubic meters of sediment, which is crucial for water management and reducing flood risks.
This was conveyed by Seno during a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) on the Development of the Master Plan for Management and Arrangement of the Sub-Watershed (DAS) Karang Mumus, held at the Ballroom of Hotel Midtown Samarinda on Thursday, June 12, 2025.
Seno emphasized the East Kalimantan Provincial Government’s commitment to fully supporting the management of the Sub-DAS Karang Mumus, both in terms of attention and financial assistance.
In 2026, the provincial government proposes a budget of IDR 867.54 billion for the completion of flood management from the Muara segment to the Lempake Dam.
“This funding will be used for the construction of levees, sluice gates, and pump houses,” he said.
Additionally, the provincial government plans to allocate a budget of IDR 231.53 billion in 2026 to control flooding in the Karang Mumus River.
These funds will be used to build six segments, which are expected to reduce flooding in an area of 239 hectares.
Seno added that the provincial government aims to reduce flood inundation by 30,000 hectares by 2030, with a budget allocation of IDR 380 billion.
With the collaboration between BWS and the Samarinda City Government, it is hoped that flood control in East Kalimantan can be achieved soon, bringing positive impacts to both the community and the environment. (ADV/RED4/a)
