REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, MUARA TEWEH -- The floodwaters that have affected North Barito District in Central Kalimantan Province over the past two days are spreading to wider areas as the Barito River is overflowing its banks.

"The floodwaters have risen, thereby preventing motorbikes and cars from plying on the flooded roads," Muara Teweh resident Rizali Hadi noted here on Tuesday.

Merak and Imam Bonjol roads are submerged under floodwaters reaching heights between one and 1.5 meters.

Dahlia, Sengaji, Pangeran Antasari, Perwira, and Panglima Batur roads were flooded with nearly half-meter deep waters.
