JAKARTA - The Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR) through the Kalimantan III River Basin Agency (Directorate General of Water Resources) has completed the construction of Embung Rawa Sari located in Karang Harapan Sub-District, Tarakan Barat District. The construction of the Embung Rawa Sari is carried out in stages using a total budget of Rp 68.44 billion from the State Budget Revenue (APBN) T.A 2016 - 2018.

Minister of Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR) Basuki Hadimuljono said, currently the reservoir is the best solution for supplying raw water needs in Tarakan, because rainfall is quite high throughout the year.
