Going to Bancak Pond

Bancak Pond is a pond made by our office located in Kabupaten Semarang. The pond was intended to storage rain water and the water would be used to water dragon fruit plantation. It had a capacity of 700 m3. They had been commissioned for 3 months but leakage had caused embankment sliding. The commissioning then had been terminated. This day I, Mr Hidayat, Mr Purwadi and some officers accompanied Mr Suryono made field inspection. At site the pond was being dewatered. A landsliding of 5m by 10m had occured. Mr Suryono directed the caretaker to introduce concrete piling reinforcement.

This morning I walked after doing my prayer. I tracked the yesterday route. At 06.40 I left home for the office without having breakfast. I was home again for breakfast after joining the rollcall. At 10.00 I and colleagues went to Bancak Pond. We stopped at Banaran Cafe for having early lunch. The traffic was congested because there was an activity to uplift a truck from Tuntang River.

We were about 20 minuted in the pond location. We then in a hurry went back to Semarang. At 14.40 we arrived at the Republic of Indonesia Radio station on Jalan Ahmad Yani Semarang. Mr Suryono became a resource person on a program relating to World Water Day from 15.00 to 16.00. At 16.30 I was in the office and 17.00 I was home.
