INFOKU, BLORA -Despite experiencing an increase, the Cepu Water Level ( TMA ) is still on green alert .
However, until yesterday afternoon the TMA trend tended to fall.
This was caused by the nine gates of the Movable Dam in Bojonegoro being opened.
The Blora Regional Disaster Management Agency ( BPBD ) continues to monitor the Bengawan Solo until the evening while the rainy season is still hitting Blora.
Blora BPBD Data and Information Operator Agung Triyono revealed that the TMA in Cepu had experienced an increase on Monday (16/12) until yesterday morning.
However, from monitoring until yesterday afternoon, the TMA tended to decrease to 22.05 meters.
"For now, it is still green alert. Because it is still below 22.63 meters," he explained.
Triyono said that the opening of the nine sluice gates of the Movable Dam in Bojonegoro is thought to have had an impact on lowering the Cepu TMA.
Meanwhile, from monitoring upstream, such as Ngawi yesterday, it also tended to decrease, with a yellow alert status.
"In Cepu and its surroundings, the water of Bengawan Solo has not yet reached the villages," he stressed.
