The city reservoir is a multifunctional land

If you have read my blog in a previous post then at least you know the picture from the photo in this image, because this location is a multifunctional location that is often used by the surrounding community as a location or place to find sustenance and is also often used as a recreation location when entering the afternoon days to be a jogging location for residents who live in Lhokseumawe City.

When taking a photo of this location, you can see one of the proud mosque buildings of Lhokseumawe City residents which is named the Islamic Center Mosque, a very large mosque that stands firmly in the middle of the city or precisely in the center of Lhokseumawe which is clearly visible. The mosque will always be clearly visible wherever we are, even though you are located on the shoreline or more clearly if you are in the reservoir area itself.

On the east side of the Islamic Center Mosque building there is a beachside or Indian Ocean with a distance of about 500 meters, the atmosphere will be very beautiful if immortalized with a photo in the afternoon, especially if there is a natural phenomenon in the form of a sunset that is setting or the sun is setting.

In general, the sunset will be clearly visible next to the mosque building so that the atmosphere will look very beautiful when it is late in the afternoon.

The reservoir with an area of ​​5 hectares is a location that is very suitable for the main objective of the city government to accommodate a number of community wastewater originating from the city center, with the aim that the city center will not experience flooding if there is high rainfall or other things that can harm the community local.

So that with this location the city of Lhokseumawe is free from all floods both from rain and from tide that occur at certain times in general when the full moon enters.

Every water that comes from every corner of the city is stored in a reservoir so that the water always flows and always changes in the reservoir, so that with active watering, the fish will always live and breed fans in it.

(Reservoir as a location for fish farming)

This opportunity is benefited by the local community, especially the residents of Pusong village who work as fishermen who are used as land to cultivate fish as a side livelihood.

This livelihood is referred to by the local community as Meucrapee, this activity is a routine activity for the local community by requiring several materials that are easily available in their area, and has satisfying results for crapu fishermen.

This fish culture only has a simple material such as a nylon net that is shaped like 4 squares and is then placed in a shelter as a means of breeding small fish seeds that will grow by themselves in a few months.

You can see lots of nets in the shape of 4 square boxes that are tethered to the reservoir area as a means of breeding and breeding fish in the area.

These Crapee fishermen also take fish seeds easily in the reservoir then small fish such as tilapia, groupers, red eye fish, and several other fish are released into Keuramba as a breeding location that will develop and grow in the area Keuramba.

The free facilities in the reservoir turned out to be accidentally changed its function to other benefits, even though the city government initially built the location as a water storage device, and now it has turned into a small fish farming location which is processed and fostered by the surrounding community, especially residents of the Pusong Lama Village, Lhokseumawe Aceh.

Even though the reservoir location is full and crowded with Keuramba Crapee fishermen, its main function is to collect wastewater and rainwater from the city center which still functions smoothly as an initial function.

In fact, what is happening today is different from its original function, and now the city reservoir is a multifunctional location which has increased into the income of the small fishing community who are struggling around the city reservoir.

Along with changes in the economy, the idea of ​​the community in utilizing an object has changed and it is processed into a different location from before.

This is a brief description of the nature around us, which often changes its function over time, so its prospects change too. So and thank you very much.
