One of them is the handling of floods in 1975, at the beginning of the second five years the central government handled this with the planning of the Lower Brantas Project, in its realization, in addition to cooperation with the central government, the city also made many collaborations in structuring Surabaya, both with the community and State Universities. in Surabaya in the flood management projections, the statement is based on how Surabaya can adapt to the future nature, considering that Surabaya is the most populous city with a fairly high increase in urbanization every year with industrial cities and shopping centers which are more dominant with natural damage.
