Travel to Gadja Mungkur Reservoir, in Wonogiri, Central Java Part 1 (Camera: sony digital camera, cyber shot) December, 24th 2012 My family has gone to the Reservoir Gadjah Mungkur. Forest atmosphere still felt around the reservoir. Understandably, Winogiri is a mountainous district and has a forest. My great-grandfather was also previously settled around the reservoir Gadjah Mungkur, before the dam was built Gadjah Mungkur, my great-grandfather had inhabited the area around the reservoir. Said my great-grandfather, Wonogiri derived from the word "Wono" (Javanese) which means forest, "Giri" (Javanese) which means mountain. So if the city is woven into the mountainous jungle. Prior made ​​dam, as most western upstream or downstream of the first Solo River (Upper Solo river is upstream of Winogiri and Ponorogo), so a lot of flooding in both downstream and at the mouth of the East Java. By Mr. President Soeharto, in build this reservoir to hold water while the flow of the river in the vicinity eyes both of Pacitan and Wonogiri river itself. People who inhabit the Gadjah Mungkur in transmigration to Sumatra, most prefer to settle in the vicinity of the reservoir Gadjah Mungkur. Including my great-grandfather's sister whose house is also now used as a reservoir. That is so Winogiri is not separated from the history of my life. How does the landscape of Gadjah Mungkur reservoirs? @ ithinkeducation December, 24th 2012 Please give your comments IN INDONESIAN: Perjalanan ke Gadja Mungkur Waduk, di Wonogiri, Jawa Tengah Part 1 (Kamera: sony camera digital, cyber shot) December, 24th 2012 Keluarga ku telah pergi ke Waduk Gadjah Mungkur. Suasana Hutan masih terasa di sekitar waduk. Maklum, Wonogiri memang merupakan kabupaten yang bergunung dan mempunyai hutan. Kakek Buyutku juga sebelumnya menetap di sekitar waduk Gadjah Mungkur, sebelum di bangun waduk Gadjah Mungkur, kakek buyutku sudah mendiami daerah sekitar Waduk tersebut. Kata Kakek Buyutku, Gadjah Mungkur berasal dari kata "Wono" (Bahasa Jawa) yang berarti Hutan, "Giri" (Bahasa Jawa) yang berarti gunung. Sehingga jika dirangkai menjadi kota yang bergunung hutan. Sebelum dijadikan waduk, karena hulu paling barat atau hulu pertama dari Sungai Bengawan Solo (Hulu bengawan Solo adalah Hulu dari Wonogiri dan Ponorogo), sehingga banyak terjadi banjir baik di hilir maupun di muara yakni di Jawa Timur. Oleh Bapak Presiden Soeharto, di bangunlah waduk ini untuk menampung sementara aliran sumber air mata dari sungai di sekitarnya baik sungai dari Pacitan dan Wonogiri sendiri. Masyarakat yang mendiami daerah Gadjah Mungkur di transmigrasi ke Pulau Sumatera, sebagian besar lebih senang menetap di sekitar daerah waduk Gadjah Mungkur. Termasuk saudara perempuan Kakek Buyutku yang rumahnya juga sekarang dijadikan waduk tersebut. Itulah sehingga Wonogiri tidak lepas dari kehidupan sejarah ku. Bagaimana pemandangannya waduk Gadjah Mungkur? @ithinkeducation December, 24th 2012 Silahkan berikan komentar
