Wakil Walikota Jakarta Barat, Muhammad Yuliadi menginstruksikan seluruh camat dan lurah di wilayahnya agar memperbanyak pembuatan lubang biopori. Pembuatan lubang resapan ini diharapkan mampu
“Kami berharap masyarakat peduli, sadar dan turut membuat lubang biopori di lingkungan rumahnya. Ini kebutuhan kita bersama,” kata Yuliadi saat mencanangkan pembuatan 800 lubang biopori di halaman kantor Walikota Jakarta Barat, belum lama ini.

Jakarta (B2B) - The making of this absorption hole is expected would increase the infiltration rate of rainwater into the ground. Thus, the rainwater would not be a waste and cause flood during rainy season.
West Jakarta Deputy Mayor, Muhammad Yuliadi, instructed all urban village and sub-district heads in the municipality to multiply the making of bio-pore holes.
“We hope the residents would care, realize, and also make bio-pore holes in their houses. This is our mutual need, because bio-pore holes can also prevent puddles and the spread of diseases caused by mosquito, such as dengue fever and malaria,” uttered Yuliadi when inaugurating the making of 800 bio-pore holes at the yard of West Jakarta Mayor office, recently.
According to him, 800 bio-pore holes are made at the yard of West Jakarta Mayor office to eliminate puddles in the area which often inundated for as high 10 centimeters during rainy season. The making itself is in cooperation with TNI personnel from 052/Wijayakrama Military Regional Command (Korem).
