To address this problem, the Government of Indonesia, through the Activity Organizer Center for River Catchment Management of Citanduy-Ciwulan has conducted a study involving structural and non structural measures in the Cimeneng River. The study shows that a sediment reduction of 97 % by annual tonnage or 97 % by annual sediment depth is possible in the lagoon by implementing the proposed sediment control measures on the river. This reduction is further confirmed by the low CP factors obtained. Reference: Tjahjanto, D., A. Rahardjo, and Fathorachman. 2007.
