The regent of Aceh Utara, Muhammad Thaib, told Media Indonesia on Tuesday (17/6) that the Krueng Keureutoe Reservoir is expected to accommodate millions of cubic meters of water during the rainy season.
Therefore, nine districts prone to floods include Paya Bakong, East Pirak, Matangkuli, Tanah Luas and Lhok Sokon, can be resolved.
Then the irrigation water needs for 45 thousand hectares (ha) of paddy field in the local area can be fulfilled. Thus the habit of drying the rice fields during the growing season can be overcome so as not to result in puso or crop failures.
The former GAM combatant is hoping that all parties will be able to assist the smooth development of the land clearing until the completion stage.
