Kalimalang
is a river from the reservoir located in Purwakarta to Jakarta Halim. This
Kalimalang raw water source is derived from the reservoir, Purwakarta and
continue to explore its tributaries flow through Cikampek, Cibitung, Cikarang,
Tambun and other small areas. Kalimalang river as well as supplying drinking
water supplier or the so-called PAM (water company) for people living in
Jakarta and surrounding areas. Kalimalang along this road is beside the time it
makes it a very strategic area for settlement. This road is also one way of
commerce because it covers 6 districts. Kalimalang river is 20 kilometers from
Cawang to the Bekasi area. Kalimalang road from New Cawang - Pondok Bambu -
Cipinang Melayu - Coconut Cottage - Lampiri - Transito - Sources Arta -
Jakapermai - galaxy - Earth Satria Kencana and ended in Metropolitan Mall
Bekasi. Kalimalang raw water source is derived from Jatiluhur, Purwakarta.
Flowing trace Cikampek, Cikarang, Cibitung, Tambun and Bekasi. Kalimalang
latter term is identical to the course that is in addition to time or also an
unusual river. Generally the shape of the river from upstream to downstream, or
from the mountains to the sea. But the river Kalimalang the shape and position
transversely from the reservoir in Purwakarta to Halim, Jakarta did not go to
sea (north) therefore called Kalimalang river.
The
road along the river Kalimalang not free from problems of congestion that could
be considered serious. Actual traffic congestion is a common thing but not so
in this road. Such as in the areas of Jakarta, including the extremely severe
Bekasi. Badly damaged already a must for any user menu this way. Congestion by
users like in hell is caused by many things, including: roads badly damaged,
potholes, flooding in Cipinang Melayu, Traffic Light die, metromini strike,
traffic accidents, and others. This problem is getting more complicated day,
especially roads that seemed difficult widened. This is due to settlements that
are too dense and cost considerations are of course very expensive for the road
widening efforts. But the road congestion problem should be resolved quickly so
that the government is resolved or at least reduced. Besides, there is also the
problem of congestion problem concerning Kalimalang river water itself. Kalimalang
River watershed derived from Jatiluhur dam in Purwakarta basically used to
supply water to the Water Company (PAM). In addition to irrigate agricultural
areas, streams flowing through Kalimalang some areas which eventually empties
into the sea is also used by the local community as a means of domestic
interests such as washing, bathing, to dispose of human waste. Habits of the
people who always throw trash and defecate coupled with other activities such
as bathing children make Kalimalang be more hygienic water.
Although
Kalimalang water is a source of raw water for the water needs of the majority
of the flow of the river to the East Jakarta and Bekasi area. Coupled with the
presence of a mound of rubbish on the edge this time resulted in complete Kalimalang
River water pollution problems. Pollution of the river water is usually
brownish Kalimalang, suddenly turned into a solid black and oily.The water in
the channel Kalimalang obviously been contaminated waste even some of the
results of chemical waste polluted the river bank makes a lot of saving
shelter. E-coli contamination levels there ranged from 80,000 to 100,000 MPN
per 100 miles of water. Although e-coli threshold for raw materials clean water
only Rp. 1,000 MPN/100 kilometers of water. But as has been said that the next
Mayor of Bekasi will be held jobs related to flood management in Bekasi. One is
the development pengerjaaan Sifon Kalimalang budget using state budget funds as
well as funds from the Asian Development Bank (ADB). WTC irrigation channel
that divides the city of Bekasi, the flow of the river around the dam will rest
in Bekasi. From Bekasi Weir, Water Kalimalang already united with plumbing
water west of times Bekasi to Jakarta. In addition to maintaining the quality
of raw water from Jatiluhur, irrigation channel separation with time Bekasi WTC
can also minimize flooding to urban areas. Imperative in development planning
sewers require careful technical planning. In accordance with the Law. 11, 1971
on irrigation in chapter 8 says that the arrangements for water and irrigation
systems as well as the construction of water prepared on the basis of planning
and technical planning for the public interest.Apparently, the public's
understanding of the importance of preserving the environment seems still
lacking.
Proven
with many buildings built defecation along the river. Meanwhile, in addition, a
variety of activities that lead to environmental pollution seems with the
advent of the garbage collector clean up former industrial waste bins that
contain chemicals. Including used goods which are already in tatters and of
polluting the river. In fact, the water in the river WTC as a feedstock for
clean water for people in Jakarta including the city and Bekasi. The level of
contamination in raw water contents in Kalimalang river will rise. Therefore,
the role of local governments plays an important role to reduce and even
eliminate pollution of the river. But until now, Kalimalang into river that
supplies water from the reservoir. River never dry season although the dry
season comes. Interestingly, each of our Independence Day celebration,
Kalimalang river became a party of the people for traditional competition.
