Flood Problem
Despite being a well-developed area, Kelapa Gading is affected by flood every rainy season due to its geographically low plain characteristic (5 meter above sea level) and the lack of effective flood diversion network established by the developer. The subdistrict was severely affected by the 2007 Jakarta flood, the worst flooding disaster in Jakarta.
Flood control infrastructures in Kelapa Gading are several small reservoirs in the Administrative Village of Kelapa Gading Barat, with linking water channels.
Since 2010 the East Flood Channel already functioning, diversing water that used to cross Kelapa Gading surrounding's waterway. Many are hoping that this Flood Channel can really make Kelapa Gading flood free.
Since 2007 - 2011 no crucial flood happened.

Famous quotes containing the words flood and/or problem:
“Twilight and evening bell.
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of farewell,
When I embark;
For though from out our bourne of Time and Place
The flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I have crossed the bar.”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
“... your problem is your role models were models.”
—Jane Wagner (b. 1935)
