The city of Medan, the capital of the North Sumatra Province, has an approximate population of 2.5 million and is the third biggest city in Indonesia after Jakarta and Surabaya. The city and its vicinities had two major problems of chronic floods and water shortage.

The Medan Flood Control Project (MFCP) with funds from JBIC was put into implementation to improve natural and human environmental conditions by mitigating flood damage in the flood prone areas along the Deli and Percut rivers. This project , covering the entire Medan city and Deli Sederang district, consists of construction of Medan Floodway with a length of 3.9km and the improvement works of the Percut river that covers 28km stretch from the river mouth. Also, it includes a subproject for Solid Waste Management (SWM), which requires the involvement and participation of the communities in the area, in order to improve the environmental conditions by eliminating the waste dumping and accumulation along the river and floodways.
