BALIKPAPAN, KOMPAS.com – Dam Teritip in Balikpapan, East Kalimantan, has been completed and ready to be used for the process of impounding or waterlogging.

The construction of dams worth Rp 262 billion, is faster than the original target, ie in mid December 2016 .

“The target is the end of November. The sooner the better. Because after being closed by the calculation and considering the rainfall and so on, newly inundated full after seven months,” said Minister of Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR) Basuki Hadimuljono , in a press release received Kompas.com, Sunday (11/06/2016).

Today, the community water reserves Balikpapan depend on Dams manggar with a supply of 1,000 liters per second. With increasing community needs for clean water then the capacity is no longer sufficient.

“By default, the secured position the raw water is the availability of 2,000 mubik per capita per year. But in reality, the average supply is under these standards, “said Basuki.

Basuki pointed out, on the island of Java, the availability of raw water an average of only 1,600 cubic meters per capita per year and the raw water is below standard, disrupt economic activity and inhibits food self-sufficiency.

Function Dam Teritip not only as a provider of raw water, but also for tourism.

Therefore, Basuki urge people around that do not put fish cages in the middle of the reservoir because it would damage the quality of raw water.

Although the construction has been completed, Dam Teritip still leaves a land area of ​​40 hectares to be released.

“That’s forests belong to the people and the target can be free in the next month,” said Basuki.

for diketaui, Balikpapan is not the only area experiencing a crisis of raw water. The same thing also happened in other areas.
