Application Notice Jakarta is sinking not actually once or twice delivered. Many studies and exhibits show Jakarta’s sinking potential.
One of them came to WFP Jaya’s President and Director, Arief Nasrudin, in early August. He highlighted the condition of the high use of groundwater in the capital, which could have an impact on the disaster if not followed up.
“And the forecast is that in 2050 it is expected that 90 percent of the Jakarta area, especially in the northern part, will be submerged also by culture or subsequently by the use of water that is not immediately resolved and continues to withdraw water from the land, which seeks more and more certainty “, he continued.
Not only Arief, the chairman of Commission D of the DKI Jakarta DPRD of the PDIP faction Ida Maheasy also highlighted this aspect. He asked the provincial government of the DKI to be firm on the rules for the use of groundwater.
“Just one example of our apartments, many of which were not connected by PAM water. PDAM did not connect pipes to apartments in the DKI regional government, this is an example. In fact, we are less concerned about the use of this. water, “Ida told reporters some time ago.
From there, Ida pushed for a regional regulation (Perda) regarding the use of groundwater to solve the problem.
The secretary of the DPRD DKI Commission, Jakarta faction, Gerindra Syarif, also opened her voice. As for the forecast of the Jakarta shipwreck, she said, she had actually been warned for 15 years.
“The first thing I want to say is that the forecast has been a long time since I was reminded of 15 years ago. There are many factors that cause DKI Jakarta to be threatened with drowning, there is global warming, subsidence. of the soil, now the uncontrolled use of groundwater is damaging the soil structure resulting in subsidence of the soil, therefore, if you look at Jakarta, the beach is already under the beach, so there are efforts, for example, to build a embankment, “Syarif told reporters some time ago.
Not only from within the country, the prediction of the sinking of Jakarta also came from the United States Space and Air Force Agency (NASA). The prediction that Jakarta is very risky and prone to sinking was disclosed by NASA on its official website in the middle of this year. The cause is a combination of many factors, climate change, growing population and water exploitation in the Indonesian capital.
“As global temperatures rise and the search for ice sheets, many coastal cities are at greater risk of flooding. This is due to rising sea levels,” wrote NASA.
The global mean sea level is increasing by 3.3 millimeters per year. It was like that, the rain became more intense and the atmosphere became warmer.
Additionally, Jakarta’s land subsidence has been accelerated by urbanization, land use changes and rapid population growth. Narrowing or clogging of river channels and canals by sediment and waste also accelerates the subsidence of Jakarta’s soil.
