Over the course of the Asian Games, more than 10,000 athletes from various countries including Japan will stay in the newly built players village in Jakarta. There is a player village consisting of ten high-rise buildings in the northern part of Jakarta, Kumayoran. It is adjacent to "Downtown" where houses gather together so that the shoulder is brought together and the bikes with their families come and go all the time.
The problem is the stench of the Sentión River flowing between the downtown and the players village. The river is about 10 meters wide and flows into the Jakarta Bay while including the surrounding home drainage. It is hindered by dark water and depth can not be guessed. There is an intense sludge odor from this river.
The local municipality introduced as a countermeasure against foul odors is a dark net with fine eyes. Cover the river surface in a section of the athlete village, blocking direct sunlight to prevent water temperature rise. If you do that, you can expect the effect of suppressing the generation of offensive odors.
Is it possible to cover the smell of the river
On the afternoon of July 23rd, I visited the Sentibon on the net.
The net was attached to the railing of the side of the road which is several meters above the river. It looks like a huge parasol. It smells sludge but it is not unbearable. I asked Rodia (45) who runs a grocery store near the river whether the effect has come out. "To be honest, I am too accustomed to the smell and I do not know the difference, so if you say that the person who came from outside is OK, that's right," he said. "If you smell like this on a net it's a big welcome though."
When I walked upstream away from the athletes village, the net broke. The smell grew quickly. Depending on the direction of the wind you may want to turn away your face. If you compare both, there may be effects of the net as well. In the river, scooping bags and cleaning bottles cleaned up by scavengers were scooping up garbage such as plastic bottles. It seems that I go from everyday regardless of the Asian Games. There was garbage on the riverbank that was collected on this day.
The motor was operating nearby, and a lot of white bubbles appeared. It is said to be a device that generates nanobubbles and a device that stirs sludge that accumulates on the river bottom. It is a mechanism to promote the growth of microorganisms by generating nanobubbles in water to decompose sludge and improve water quality. This was introduced two weeks before the Asian Games.
Mr. Ranga Reinaro, who oversees the improvement of water quality on the spot, said, "The water that was completely black two weeks ago is getting close to transparent.When the effect of nanobubbles is proved here, it will be introduced in other rivers I will make it. "
Garbage to the river ...
When I was photographing the river on the way home, the boy who passed by threw a bag of snacks that I finished eating in a river. In the moment 's event, there were no words to hide behind which we walked away. A smile story taught by a cleaning men who scooped up garbage can not smile suddenly. "What's with that net for trash?" If there is a net, everyone will not be able to throw garbage in the river. " Certainly PET bottles, batteries, leftovers were already caught on the net. Taking this opportunity as the beautification of the city progresses, what about adding strategy reform of "Do not throw trash into the river" with the net and nanobubbles to the strategy?
