Banjarmasin, South Kalimantan (AntaranewsKalsel) - Head of Banjarmasin Water Resources and Drainage Agency Ir Muryanta declared cleaning vessel or broom ship is ready to face the arrival of garbage washed up due to rainy season.

So far, said Muryanta, intensity-borne garbage in the Martapura river up to Banjarmasin is not so large as and able to be addressed properly by netting that has been installed.
"Net hyacinth trash catcher that we put in the river Martapura of Banua Anyar area has function properly, that the garbage easy to clean," he said.
According Muryanta, if large trash come later due to heavy rainfall from the upper, then the net catcher could no more be maximal, because the garbage mixed with stem up branches.
"There then broom ship operate maximum to banish large garbage coming, and is expected to be a maximum of work," he said.
If it did not, said Muryanta, garbage will cover the flow of a river or stream surfaces that lie beneath the bridge It is usual under the Pasar Lama Bridge and Bridge Pangeran Antasari rear Sudimampir market.
"We try not to happen again like years ago, when thousands of tons of trash stuck under the bridge of Pasar Lama and Pangeran Antasari brought to make jams and paralyzed transport on the river," he said.
