Flood Prevention

When the flood came, always the case accusing each other about who is wrong. On the other hand, experts and scholars have rushed to issue an opinion on what happened and why flooding. When the flood subsided, attention will be flooding were receding anyway. Then the fuss again when the seasons change and the floods came over and over.

Philosophically, there are three methods of flood prevention.

First, move the residents of flood-prone areas. This method is quite expensive and are not necessarily the people are willing to move, even though every year her house flooded. Second, moving the residents out of the flood. This method is very expensive, but it was popular to do the engineers of flooding, ie normalization of the river, dredge silt, menyodet-nyodet river. In fact the flood is still engulfing familiar neighborhoods.

Third, live close together floods. This method is the least expensive and the daily life of citizens to be safe even if a flood comes, namely by building houses on stilts high above the flood water level.

Normatively, there are two methods of flood prevention.

First, the structure of the method that the civil engineering construction, such as building dams in upstream, downstream flooding reservoirs, dams along the river bank, spatula, dredging and widening the river channel, polder system, as well as trimming the flow barrier.

Unbalanced budget in meetings between stakeholders (stakeholders) on flood prevention, there has been political will of the government, which will carry out flood prevention in hybrids, with the structure and method of carrying out joint nonstruktur simultaneously. In fact, it has been made in the planning of short term, medium term and long term. However, in implementation, the government's flood prevention still sectoral, inter-sectoral allocation of the budget is not balanced. Budget for flood prevention methods alias construction of civil engineering structures is greater than the budget method nonstruktur more community based.

In fact, the flood prevention with community-based nonstruktur method is no less important.

First, in the form of management in the downstream in flood-prone areas, such as the manufacture of flood maps, build early warning system for floods, socialization system of flood evacuation, institutional flood, reconstruction of houses familiar flood, capacity building and community participation in flood management, as well as the possibility of insurance floods.

Second, in the form of management in upstream watersheds, among others pengedalian erosion, control of land use permits, do not throw garbage and waste into the river, institutional conservation, securing protected areas, capacity building and community participation in conservation activities.
