Jakarta Flood Canal

[1] With help of Netherlands Engineering Consultants, the "Master Plan for Drainage and Flood Control of Jakarta" was published in December 1973.

Other measures to control floods in Jakarta include reservoirs and pumps in areas below sea level.

[3] It runs from the floodgate in Manggarai, via Pasar Rumput, Dukuh Atas, Karet Kubur, Tanah Abang, Tomang, Grogol, and Pademangan to the sea at Muara Angke.

[2] A still existing bronze plaque on the Manggarai floodgate honours Van Breen and commemorates the canal's first use in diverting the flood of 1919.

[5] The width of the canal varies from 100 to 300 m.[5] Construction began on 22 June 2002,[5] but has been delayed due to problems in clearing the area.
