Simple solutions to overcome flooding

I am sure you are also upset and concerned about the condition of roads in Bekasi today that holes and flooding during the rains hit. We'd better act independently in our common effort to solve this problem. Problem that feels and looks complex is actually very simple reason. Bekasi street potholes and bumpy because of the shearing and cracks driven burst of rain water that overflows every time it rains. Rain water overflow because there is no place on the ground surface that can absorb water (because it was mostly a closed building and paving the ground surface).

So what can we do? The solution is also very simple. You just need to make recharge wells wherever possible, such as your own backyard. How made it too simple. Just stay dug. Take a look at the picture below:

Additional explanation about BIOPORI Hole.

"This is one simple solution to add a rain water catchment area in order not to overflow and caused flooding. Also useful to manage our organic waste."

Imagine, how much the volume of water that can absorbed into the ground if each resident of Bekasi to make a hole infiltration and biopori, approximately 2.5 million liters of water! (Assuming the size of the hole diameter of 10 cm and a depth of 1 meter, the volume of one cubic meter is equivalent to 1 liter and residents bandung 8 million people).

Hopefully the flooding problem can be solved by our own awareness. Once aware of the community, just waiting for the mayor to improve awareness and care for the highway.
