The Grogol River (Kali Grogol) is a small river in the western part of the Special Capital Region of Jakarta, Indonesia.[1][2] The lower portions of the original river have been channelized with levees built along its banks,[3][4] but flooding remains a real concern.[4][5] Illegal buildings built along its banks were removed in 2014,[6] and fifty-eight village families were provided with replacement housing, but most of them could not be accommodated.[7]
