The Jatikramat River (Kali Jatikramat or Kali Jati Kramat) is a river in
History
The Jatikramat and the other two nearby rivers, the Cakung and Buaran, flow from Bekasi and interconnect until draining into the Jakarta Bay in the district of Marunda through Cakung Drain and currently through Banjir Kanal Timur. In the past, the three rivers supplied water for drinking and agriculture in the area.[5] Due to continuous erosion and accumulation of trash, the average width of the Jatikramat was reduced from 10 to only 3 meters in 1990.[6]
The river often causes flooding to the surrounding area. Research by Pieter J. Kunu and H. Lelolterry of
Hydrology
The watershed of the Jatikramat in the city of Bekasi comprises the flow of the Cileungsi, Cikeas and Bekasi rivers.[3]
The Jatikramat river has a length of 14.50 kilometres (9.01 mi), with the watershed area (Indonesian: Daerah Pengaliran Sungai) of 16.50 km2.[8] The average daily rainfall is 154 mm, with the peak debit at 45 m³.[8]
Geography
The river flows in the northwest area of Java with predominantly
Normalisation
In early 2000, the flow of the Jati Kramat was straightened; the river was dredged and the banks were strengthened with concrete, to yield a width of 5 meter with the depth of more than 3 meter.[6] The normalisation in Pondok Kelapa, Duren Sawit, East Jakarta, was performed since 2015.[12] This normalisation resulted a width of around 10 meter, to control annual flooding. The project was to be completed until the river mouth at Kanal Banjir Timur (KBT).[13]
