Society's enthusiasm toward the house seems to never fade. There is a trend in the search of ads for houses for sale in the North Jakarta area in the first quarter of 2022 based on the data from property tech company Lamudi.co.id. Previously, in the fourth quarter of 2021, the search for houses for sale in Pantai Indah Kapuk was 2,281, then increased to 3,126 in the first quarter of 2022.
In addition to offering comfort with a wider area when compared to an apartment, a house can also be a profitable investment instrument. With the increasing number of housing developments, property developers are competing to present residential areas with various advantages ranging from complete facilities, strategic locations to flood-free.
High rainfall in the rainy season plus a less than optimal drainage system is often a scary thing because it is feared that flooding will occur. So, residential areas that apply the polder system are a distinct advantage. Besides being able to enjoy the beauty of houses located near the beach with stunning views, people don't need to worry because the application of the polder system functions as a controller of the water level in the polder system. The system is controlled to prevent flooding or inundation in residential areas.
A polder is a low piece of land surrounded by heaps. The way the polder system works is that on a polder plot, there is a point where wastewater is collected from either overflowing seawater, sewage or rain.
Then, the water will be pumped to another body of water in a higher polder position, until finally the water is pumped into a river, reservoir or canal that empties into the sea. Thus, no matter how high the rainfall or tidal flooding occurs due to the overflow of sea water, the water does not inundate residential areas because the water is directly channeled into rivers, canals, or reservoirs.
The benefit of implementing a polder system in residential areas like PIK 2 is that the polder system, which is identical to the Dutch windmill country, is versatile, in addition to controlling the water surface so as not to overflow and flooding, rivers and reservoirs can become attractive tourist attractions for the community. Since the 17th century, the Netherlands, half of which is below sea level, has implemented a polder system to prevent flooding.
In Indonesia, the polder system is implemented in the exclusive residential area of Pasir Putih Residences at PIK 2 by well-known Indonesian property developers, Agung Sedayu Group and Salim Group.
