Four Villages (Gampong) in Simpang Mamplam District, Bireuen Regency, Aceh experienced flooding for the second time. This incident occurred due to high rainfall intensity which resulted in an increase in river water discharge, on Monday night, (24/2/2025).
Simpang Mamplam Sub-district Head, Hendri Maulana said, for the time being, reports obtained flooding occurred in Gampong ie Rhob Barat, ie Rhob Timur, ie Rhob Babah Lueng, ie Rhob Geulumpang.
The flood water conditions submerged roads and settlements as well as several residents' houses. The water conditions had submerged residents' settlements for several hours, the flood waters began to recede.
The Sub-district Head explained the chronology of the incident, the weather conditions in the Simpang Mamplam District area were hit by heavy rain, then the river overflowed from the mountains and flooded the village.
This overflow flood has often occurred in the four villages every year during heavy rain, therefore to prevent the risk of flooding.
It is hoped that the Bireuen Regency Government (Pemkab) can normalize and also raise the river embankment in the area so that the water flow does not overflow quickly and easily into residential areas.
He asked the relevant parties to normalize the drainage channels and the drainage channel embankment must be raised.
Likewise, Arongan and Meunasah Barat Villages are also prone to flooding," explained Sub-district Head Hendri Maulana.
