KALIMALANG RIVER

When we visited Bekasi, then we will see a river that runs in the middle of the city Bekasi. Length of river Purwakarta Jatiluhur to East Jakarta area is called kalimalang river. Kalimalang itself is actually not time or nature of the man-made but a times. The time to make the area is strategic to housing. This River is made with the intent to supply clean water from reservoir. Since then, water quality in Bekasi to Jakarta did not deserve to be consumed. Why is it called kalimalang? Average time in West Java water always flows from south to north or north to the south. But kalimalang river is from the east to the west and across between the time. So, kalimalang made his position above natural river that flows from the south to the north. More details can be seen in a position Cipinang Melayu, Kalimalang above Times Sunter with lay something in position toward America while kalimalang sunter toward the west.

Kalimalang River comes from a dam Jati honorable in Purwakarta that basically used to supply water to water company (PAM).  In addition to flow through agricultural areas, the flow of rivers too, flow to pass some areas in kalimalang that eventually boosts out fishing. And even used by the people around the facility domestic interests like washing, bathing, to bring human waste. Customs community that always throw garbage and waste water than added with other activities, such as children to take a bath that make kalimalang to water that is not hygienic again. Although the water kalimalang is a source of water daily needs raw material for most-to-day operations, the river to the region East Jakarta and the West. kalimalang river that supplies of water reservoir. This River will never be dry even though the dry season comes. Since when and by whom kalimalang river still did not get any source and the information is clear. Some people said that the inheritance Dutch colonial kalimalang. In addition, also, the river was used by the local community to plant water hyacinth.

Water on Nigerian pipelines have increased kalimalang clearly have been contaminated by waste even a result from waste also chemical but polluted it makes many saving shelter. High contamination E-coli bacteria there is between 80,000 to 100,000 MPN Per miles from the water. But as he had told mayor of Bekasi here, that will assist the execution related to management floods in Bekasi. One of them is the development execution sifon kalimalang, using the budget funds from the National Budget and funds from the ADB. Irrigation canals that divided WTC Bekasi city, the flow of rivers will rest around the Bekasi. Water kalimalang river is united with water pipes to West Bekasi to Jakarta. Irrigation canals with Dividing time in Bekasi, WTC can also be meminimalisirkan flood to urban areas. Even in the river water WTC as the raw material for clean water for Jakarta residents including the city Bekasi. High contamination in kalimalang river water will be increased, and therefore the role of local government to reduce and eliminate river pollution.

This River long enough, I learned kalimalang river in front of Gunadarma University. Each set out will be sure to pass through this river, which was one of the scenery me each and every day. In my opinion, the river this can be used for many people if it can be managed well by the local government. Although this river is never as the rain pounded flood, but river does not be maintained. There is much rubbish a floating over kalimalang river. Water color is not clear, clouds and Scale. The beautifully in our country can used for transport, because it can reduce the congestion worse every year. For example in European countries that function to carry water, even also reaching will be able to increase its journey to see around there are trees grown and well maintained. The process of making it Even though it would take quite a long time, but will be very useful for the future. State of Indonesia will be able to compete with other countries when the state government going well and even will add foreign exchange reserves countries that are useful for development in the country.
