The Keuliling Reservoir, part of the Krueng Aceh Watershed, plays a critical role in providing raw water and irrigation for Banda Aceh and Aceh Besar. Constructed to irrigate over 3,700 hectares of agricultural land, the reservoir also supports the conversion of rain-fed fields into technically irrigated rice fields. Beyond water supply and irrigation, Keuliling Reservoir has the potential to serve as a hub for sports, tourism, and community activities.
Located in Cot Glie District, Aceh Besar Regency, approximately 35 km from Banda Aceh, the reservoir rehabilitation supervision project ensures construction quality and compliance with technical standards while integrating landscape planning for environmental sustainability, tourism, and sports development.
