SEAToday.com, Tasikmalaya - Presiden Joko Widodo meresmikan Bendungan Leuwikeris di Tasikmalaya, Jawa Barat, Kamis (29/8).

Bendungan Leuwikeris memiliki luas genangan seluas 243 hektare dan volume daya tampung sebesat 81 juta meter kubik air. Dibangun sejak tahun 2016, bendungan ini menghabiskan dana sebesar 3,5 triliun rupiah,

Presiden Jokowi berharap agar Bendungan Leuwikeris dapat bermanfaat bagi masyarakat guna memenuhi kebutuhan air baku, baik sebagai air irigasi, pengendalian banjir, maupun pembangkit listrik.

"Ini dapat mengairi daerah irigasi seluas 11.200 hektare, sangat besar sekali manfaatnya bagi para petani," ujar Presiden.

Presiden juga mengingatkan untuk mengelola air dengan baik sehingga tidak mengubah sumber kehidupan, keseimbangan, dan keharmonisan menjadi sebuah bencana.

"Tanpa air tidak ada makanan, oleh sebab itu air harus dikelola dengan baik karena setiap tetesnya itu sangat-sangat berharga," pungkas Presiden Jokowi.

Turut mendampingi Presiden antara lain Menteri Pekerjaan Umum dan Perumahan Rakyat (PUPR) Basuki Hadimuljono, Bupati Tasikmalaya Ade Sugianto, Bupati Ciamis Engkus Sutisna, dan Sekretaris Daerah Provinsi Jawa Barat Herman Suryatman.
