Jakarta: President Joko Widodo (Jokowi), on Tuesday, inaugurated Napun Gete Dam, in Sikka Regency, East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) Province. 
 
Napun Gete Dam is part of the Government’s development project to build seven dams in NTT Province.
 
"It is a huge leap. The dam must increase people’s productivity, not only the agricultural products, but also agricultural waste utilized as feeds for livestock," President Jokowi was quoted by the Cabinet Secretariat's website.

The President went on to say that the key to people’s welfare in NTT is availability of water supply as requested by the local people and regional government.
 
According to the President, as more dams out of the total seven dams targeted by the Government are ready for operation, they will increase productivity of the people in East Nusa Tenggara.
 
The President also expressed hope that the Province can support national food security.
 
For the record, Napun Gete Dam which is constructed within four years by using the State Budget amounting  to Rp880 billion can accommodate 11.22 million cubic meters of water with an inundation area of 99.78 hectares.
 
The dam can also irrigate 300 hectares of land, provide raw water with a capacity of 0.2 cubic meter per second, potentially provide electricity supply generated from hydropower of 0.1 megawatt, serve as flood control management in downstream area, and support the development of potential tourism areas.
