According to him, this is not the first time, it happens often. Almost all houses have preempted this by installing barriers in front of every door to prevent water from entering.
“There were two of me when I came into the house in front (next to the canal) earlier. Floods often occur here, building culverts is not a solution, water comes here and leads to a dead end. The passage goes from large to small. Some time ago it was thigh length, this one was knee length. “Every time it rains, there will be flooding,” he said again.
Meanwhile, Dimas, commander of Team I DPKP Surabaya City Pos TVRI, said that a fire truck with a capacity of 3,000 liters was on standby at the site since the cloud cover.

“Initially the weather was cloudy, eventually we received information from the CC room, the rainfall was heavy starting from the north, and finally we assumed that it would receive rain before the flood like this instead of missing it, and on It came to an end.” “It was solved at half past six,” he explained again.
The capacity of the tank was immediately full after vacuuming up the puddle, then another unit with a capacity of 5,000 liters was added. The officers sucked water out of the left side canal again and poured it on the right side so that it no longer overflowed onto the street.
“If there is heavy rainfall, we will try to anticipate it as much as possible. The cause is actually heavy rainfall, which causes the water to rise. “We move the water from the left side to the right side, so the acceleration decreases,” he said. (lta/iss/ipg)
