The heavy rain that flushed Banda Aceh and Aceh Besar for one day and one night made the Krueng Aceh river overflow. The overflowing water of the Krueng Aceh river caused a number of cattle pens belonging to the people on the riverbanks to be flooded. Seeing the overflowing water of Krueng Aceh which continued to rise, the breeders took the initiative to evacuate their own livestock so that they would not be submerged in the water.
According to data from the Aceh Meteorology and Geophysics Agency for the past month, it has warned about the potential for high rainfall for the two areas, including the villages located in Blang Bintang, rain will continue to flush Banda Aceh and Aceh Besar and their surroundings in the next few days . One of the impacts of this high rain potential is also felt by cattle breeders.
Following a higher rise in river water levels, the respective breeders were forced to evacuate their cows from their pens which were on the banks of the Krueng Aceh river. The rise in the water level due to the heavy rains which continued to flush the Banda Aceh and Aceh Besar areas greatly disturbed the cattle breeders in the area. Because they do not have other land to take care of their cows.
The cows that have been evacuated are tied up on a higher ground, namely on the side of the Sumatra causeway to avoid being submerged from the floods that hit the area. The cows will also be guarded by their owners at night so they don't get lost.
The overflow of the Krueng Aceh river water did not only submerge the cowshed. However, water as high as 70 centimeters was also seen stagnant at a football field in Lubok Batee village, Wanna Jaya sub-district. The field which is located approximately 400 meters from the surface of the river water also became visible from this natural disaster
