Banjarmasin, South Kalimantan (AntaranewsKalsel) - Local government owned water taps Company PDAM Bandarmasih, Banjarmasin, will soon build a giant reservoir to overcome water crisis during dry season.
Director of PDAM Bandarmasih Muslih Abdurahman here on Tuesday said it will build a giant water granary with a capacity of 1.1 million cubic meters as a solution to the raw water supply to be processed as clean water in the dry season.
Locations selected for water barns is in the village of Pematang Panjang, Sungai Tabuk, Banjar District, or not too far from the taps water treatment plant (IPA) at Jalan Pramuka, Banjarmasin.
The project has entered the initial work with public land acquisition of about 200 x 500 meters and will be done in 2016 and is scheduled for completion next three years.
The project will cost about Rp 1 trillion, with details of the physical construction of barns around Rp350 billion plus pipeline and so it is estimated it would spend Rp900 billion ormore.
The development funds will be from the PDAM itself, also expected from the Banjarmasin's Regional Budget (APBD) , South Kalimantan Provincial Budgets and State Budget (APBN).
The facility is planned to hold water while rainy season, so if raw water taps experienced intrusion of sea water with high salt content in dry season, the water in the reservoir will be taken as a raw material.
If there is no anticipation as it feared every year during the dry season there will always be a clean water crisis such as this year that causes a reduction in water production decreased drastically.
