TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Jakarta Deputy Governor Sandiaga Uno said that his administration will take several steps to prevent the flood in the capital to reoccur. Flood in Jakarta was caused by the heavy rain in Ciliwung River that increased the water volume in Jakarta.
According to Sandiaga, Jakarta Administration has cooperated with local administration to handle the upstream water in the Ciliwung River. "We hope for a better coordination to handle that in the future," he said Thursday, Feb. 8.
