Sentarum Lake National Park, after so long since graduated from high school a few dozen years ago, finally I had a chance to visit this place. Located in the region that includes seven sub-districts, districts of Batang Lupar, District Badau directly adjacent to neighboring countries Malaysia, Embau district, District Selimbau, Semitau District, District and Sub Bunut Suhaid Downstream has a very important function not only for the upstream even for Kalimantan Kapuas west, as a container for water discharge when the Kapuas river overflowed and as a supplier of water when dry Kapuas river.
