Like many coastal cities around the world, Jakarta is dealing with sea level rise. But Indonesia's biggest city also has a unique problem: Because of restricted water access in the city, the majority of its residents have to extract groundwater to survive. And it's causing the city to sink. Today, Jakarta is the world’s fastest-sinking city.
The problem gets worse every year, but the root of it precedes modern Indonesia by centuries. In the 1600s, when the Dutch landed in Indonesia and built present-day Jakarta, they divided up the city to segregate the population. Eventually, that segregation led to an unequal water piping system that excluded most Indigenous Jakartans, forcing them to find other ways to get water.
To understand how it all ties together, and what’s in store for Jakarta’s future, watch the video above.

Scientist: Jakarta is sinking!
Indonesian media: Look what this celebrity is gonna do today!
🤣
Jakarta literly sinking
Media:. Hey look that artist just build 5t trillion house!
How ironic
As a person who used to live in jakarta (now tangerang) this statement is pretty much true ngl
this is basically the state of Asian news media..
In india, there is a big wildfire right now
(They never even talked about it on the news) and all they talk about is some politician spraining their leg..
How irony it is that "the city is sinking because the people living in it don't have enough water"
It is more ironic that it was once a Dutch colony, a country known for holding back and reclaiming land from the North Sea.
If dutch did succeed being colonizing indonesia
Then they would have become suffered because the "sinking" jakarta :|
"Water Water everywhere and not a drop to drink."
--Samuel Coleridge
if you want to be a leader in Indonesia you have to be of the same faith
The most irony is, Java Island would face "water" crisis in 2050, while cities suffered from "flood".
Floods?
You mean the annual Jakarta public waterpark?
It gets so popular we almost hold it every month now.
🤣
*mother nature holds it for us
*every year
Yes once my neighborhood had this smoll flood which i swam in and it was fun

Indonesian government considering moving their capital.
Indonesian Government: _We are gonna do what's in the profession called a dutch move._
The Dutch doesn't run away. They conquer the ocean.
Tbf the plan to move the capital city to borneo has nothing to do with Jakarta sinking.
The plan is always been there since 1960s proposed by the 1st Indonesian President because he think it's it will become heavy burden for Jakarta to become the centre of Government, Economy, Entertainment etc...
The plan only been taking seriously in early 2010s and now the govt finally decided to move it in 2019.
And their doesn't have money to moving the capital. The solution? Always getting debt, that's why indonesian debt compare with the last 6 years already gain 6000%
I'd like to say we never moved our capital, but that would be forgetting about king Lodewijk I, our first monarch, who moved the capital constantly. Excepting his reign though, the capital has consistently been at Amsterdam since Dutch independence.
Well they doesn't ran away from the sea tho...*THEY CONQUER THEM*
As someone who's Indonesian and has been to Jakarta multiple times, I can say the ground water pumping thing is accurate and has become a real problem. This definitely needs to reach to Jakarta at some point as news, but from what I've seen, it's been neglected for the longest time, and as long as you can make a living in Jakarta, nobody will care. People need to do something.
Ada indonesia coy
Yang dari Indonesia like
You're shining a light on a crucial issue. The groundwater problem in Jakarta is indeed serious and warrants immediate attention. It's disheartening when such critical concerns don't receive the coverage they deserve locally, leading to a lack of public awareness and action. The resilience and hustle of life in Jakarta can sometimes overshadow these environmental challenges, but it's vital for the community to come together, raise awareness, and seek sustainable solutions. It's about the city's future and the well-being of its people.
When the capital is in crisis, the politicians have a great response by moving the capital to a new city. Now the capital does not have a crisis.
Egypt is doing the same thing too!

@@neoduckman365 yes but only rich people can move easily to another city without worrying economic issues, no need to think about job and living place
@@adhipratama3347 yeah. if the capital does move i bet that the fishermen and farmers will refuse to move. it's literally in the news that local fishermen don't want to move out because they're so used to their job
@@adhipratama3347 see, this is actually an example of people being cynical about rich people. The rich people will still worry about economic issues or it may be their number 1 priority, "economic issues". Jakarta is sinking by a lot of factors including historical and current economic factor.
But talking about "capital", it is mainly focused on the central goverment, not mainly about the rich people nor the economy.
@@neoduckman365 the fact you worry the rich instead of the poor kinda disturbs me
Even the Indonesian government acted like the Dutch: Shift the capital somewhere else and leave the citizens behind
TRUE,i just realized that too
Sometimes, you'll live long enough to become the monster that you opposed.
Just like Israel...
But they don't move because it's sinking bro
@Lynstaor dear the ground itself is sinking, even if you build walls, how long will they last?
to be honest dutch gov was and is much better than here, plus the citizen there is much more civilized, unlike in here where so called religious people act and do the things they werent supposed to do, such filthy hipocrites!
That man said, We are a Trapped People. I cannot imagine the heartache and desolation of that. God help us as a people.
Thank you! As an Indonesian living in part of Jakarta, I'm concerned with the issue yet do not have the technical knowledge nor eloquence to explain the matter precisely. Thank you so much for the informative video :)
Stop voting and killing politicians because of religion!
what saddens me is our national media doesn’t even produce such amazing educational video like this
there's channels like "Kok Bisa" that's pretty educational
Truth from real scientists: Jakarta is sinking because it was built on the unstable surface of an aquifer from which water is being extracted for consumption.
Lie from global warming scammers (a.k.a. climate change scammers):Jakarta is sinking because of global warming caused by CO2 from fossil fuels. Global warming has caused the polar ice to melt and the sea level to rise globally.
The global warming scammers don't care about the truth and real science. They are radical left politicians who want to use the global warming lies to carry out devious policies to make themselves filthy rich.
Indonesia's mainstream media tends to be more sensationalist and clickbaity for the revenue's sake.
@@simon6071 Hey, could I know which real scientists discovered that? I'm interested in who specifically did that research
They did, it's just never surfaces

@@MeXicgamers Well it wasn't always sinking
Maybe they think nothing can be done and they need to take care of the other parts of the country and also can better help Jakarta when they are on a more 'stable' base themselves.
Joke aside, As indonesian and visited jakarta once in a while, i can tell that the city is beyond repair. The idea is to move urbanisation somewhere else, outside java
Jakarta : sinks
The government : oh noooo, anyways
I find it quite ironic that it's a dutch company that was hired to fix this problem
Not many better than dutch at seawalls .
i guess they are "colonising" again
@@heskiel5115 looks like they need it tbh
Basically Dutch came not only with their design, weapons and transport also with their sinking problem
not really way to much people in indonesia
The sinking is just due to the corrupt government not being able to provide water (as well as other basic needs) to its people
Well even if all of jakarta was piped, (which they could have made massive steps in in 70 years. Come on it's the capital city) The threat of sinking swamp land and rising sea levels would still exist. When you build cities with huge buildings on swamp land the ground simply sinks over time. It's like that everywhere. Building a pipe system on Java would just mean other lands on Java would sink faster.
@@frisianesc6905 thats also why the dutch was planning on moving it
@@davidjoelsson4929 I think it's a joke
As someone from Jakarta, we all know this is happening, but no one seems to care enough to do anything about it. It seems like foreign media cares more and we've just accepted defeat.

MALAY SUBTITLES Part 1 of 2
00:03
Ini adalah Masjid Waladuna di Jakarta.
00:06
Bumbungnya runtuh.
00:09
Lumut menutupi dinding.
00:10
Dan air laut mengalir di setiap sudut.
00:14
Kali terakhir orang bersolat di sini adalah pada tahun 2001, ketika ia berada di atas tanah.
00:19
Hari ini, ini adalah tanda amaran.
00:23
Ini menandakan apa yang dapat terjadi pada ibu negara Indonesia jika tidak segera berubah.
00:29
Kerana, walaupun Jakarta menghadapi permukaan laut yang sama naik
00:32
seperti bandar pesisir lain di seluruh dunia,
00:35
itu tidak seperti yang kita lihat di sini.
00:39
Jakarta semakin tenggelam. Dan sudah tenggelam selama beberapa dekad.
00:45
Kawasan biru ini menunjukkan berapa banyak bandar yang telah tenggelam sejak tahun 1970-an.
00:50
Semakin gelap kawasan itu, semakin banyak kawasan itu dijatuhkan.
00:53
Inilah seberapa banyak yang diturunkan hari ini.
00:56
Sebahagian besar tenggelam berlaku di sini, di pantai utara,
00:59
di mana Jakarta bertemu dengan Laut Jawa.
01:02
Di sini, tanah tenggelam sekitar 25 cm setahun,
01:06
merosakkan kawasan, merosakkan kediaman,
01:09
dan meningkatkan kehidupan orang, berulang-ulang kali.
01:24
Ramai penduduk di sini adalah nelayan, yang perlu tinggal di tepi pantai untuk mencari nafkah,
01:29
tetapi, lebih jauh di pedalaman, lebih dari 10 juta penduduk Jakarta juga berisiko.
01:36
Sebilangan besar bandar, dan rumah berjuta-juta orang, boleh berada di bawah air pada tahun 2050.
01:42
Jakarta duduk di dataran rawa, di tanah pesisir rendah.
01:46
Ia mempunyai 13 sungai yang mengalir melaluinya.
01:49
Tetapi alasan bandar itu tenggelam
01:51
sebenarnya kebanyakan orang di sini tidak mempunyai cukup air.
01:58
Sebilangan besar orang Jakarta tidak mempunyai akses ke air yang bersih dan berpaip.
02:01
Sebaliknya, mereka mendapatkan air dengan menggali sumur seperti ini.
02:05
Pam masuk jauh ke dalam tanah untuk mengeluarkan air yang tersimpan di akuifer,
02:10
lapisan batu bawah tanah yang menahan air bawah tanah.
02:13
Ruang batu berliang dipenuhi dengannya.
02:16
Gandakan ini dengan beberapa juta, dan anda menghadapi masalah.
02:20
Fikirkan batu itu sebagai span yang direndam:
02:23
semakin banyak air diekstrak, semakin banyak mengempis,
02:26
menyebabkan tanah menjadi padat dan runtuh, dan tanah di atasnya tenggelam.
02:32
Pam sahaja tidak boleh melakukan ini.
02:35
Walaupun beberapa lapisan bumi tidak akan dapat memulihkan airnya,
02:39
akuifer biasanya diisi semula secara semula jadi ketika hujan.
02:42
Tetapi di Jakarta, perkara itu menjadi semakin jarang.
02:46
Selama beberapa dekad, Jakarta telah berkembang dengan cepat,
02:50
dan kini ditutup dengan konkrit.
02:52
Jadi hujan yang biasanya memenuhi akuifer tidak dapat diserap.
03:01
Ia menjadi sangat teruk sehingga di kawasan pesisir terdedah kepada banjir,
03:05
seperti komuniti nelayan Muara Baru,
03:08
orang telah membina jambatan sementara untuk bergerak melalui kawasan kejiranan mereka.
03:12
Digabungkan dengan kenaikan permukaan laut,
03:14
ia juga menjadikan banjir ketika air pasang dan musim hujan jauh lebih berbahaya.
03:19
Seperti pada tahun 2007, ketika Jakarta mengalami salah satu banjir terburuk
03:24
dalam sejarah modennya.
03:26
Ribut dan pasang surut menyebabkan sungai dan terusan di sekitar bandar meluap,
03:31
membunuh 80 orang.
03:39
Maksim telah kehilangan rumahnya kerana tenggelam,
03:42
dan sekarang tidur di atas kapal nelayannya.
03:45
Dan Nondho terpaksa membina semula kediamannya beberapa kali.
04:01
Pengepaman air bawah tanah membahayakan keselamatan Jakarta.
04:05
Tetapi untuk memahami bagaimana ia memasuki situasi ini sebagai permulaan,
04:09
anda mesti kembali berabad-abad.
04:14
Pada tahun 1600-an, ketika kuasa Eropah menjajah dunia,
04:17
Belanda mengambil alih bandar pelabuhan Jayakarta ketika itu.
04:22
Mereka merobohkannya ke tanah, dan di tempatnya, dibangun Batavia:
04:26
markas bagi kerajaan mereka yang semakin meningkat.
04:28
Mereka mula menguasai Indonesia,
04:30
Orang Cina, India, dan Arab yang tinggal di sana selama berabad-abad,
04:35
dan membina bandar baru mereka dengan gaya Belanda,
04:37
dengan rumah bandar yang sempit di sepanjang terusan.
04:41
Terusan tersebut digunakan untuk perdagangan, pertahanan, dan untuk membuat Batavia merasa seperti kota Belanda.
04:47
Tetapi lihatlah Batavia dari atas,
04:49
dan anda dapat melihat grid bandar juga mempunyai tujuan yang lebih gelap.
05:16
Sekiranya anda melihat dengan teliti, anda akan melihat bahawa tidak ada banyak jambatan
05:19
antara dua sisi, atau di antara blok.
05:23
Ini berdasarkan reka bentuk. Belanda lebih banyak.
05:27
Oleh itu, untuk mengawal penduduk tempatan, mereka membahagikannya.
05:31
Ia kelihatan seperti ini.
05:33
Hampir setiap kumpulan terbatas di kawasan bandar mereka.
05:38
Belanda memerintah penduduk tempatan seperti ini selama lebih dari satu abad.
05:42
Tetapi itu mula berubah pada pertengahan tahun 1700-an.
05:47
Kerana Belanda tidak menjaga terusan dengan betul, mereka mulai merosot,
05:51
dan sedimen dari gempa bumi menyekat aliran air.
05:54
Air di terusan berubah-ubah, dan tidak lama lagi, boleh membawa maut.
06:13
Ketika penyakit merebak melalui saluran,
06:15
Belanda yang kaya berpindah ke selatan Batavia,
06:17
di mana mereka mula mengembangkan pusat pentadbiran kolonial baru.
06:21
Tetapi, di sebalik kematian dan penyakit, Belanda terus membiarkan terusan tidak dirawat.

Yeah, blame the Dutch like always. The Dutch were able to save their entire country from sinking by concentrated tedious effort of the whole nation. Indonesia is independent since 1940s, long enough to build a pipeline system in Jakarta etc. But I guess it's easier to watch sinetrons and complain about the Dutch who left 80 years ago.
Even if we give way to your point the Dutch still have to answer for the segregation and unkept canals that caused suffering back then.
Not the Dutch people imo but the government should absolutely try and help.
We tend to wash off the sins of the occupying countries because it happened centuries ago? You must not have experienced being occupied
not even that how did the goverment see this city with problems since 1700 and think yeah that will be the best capital and then it grows 10 times larger bruh
@@stillaliveplus1forme I don't think there are significant difference on this issue whether or not dutch colonize Batavia
I only knew about Jakarta sinking in 2015 (when I was 15). As an internet addicted teen, I happened to come across an international news article and also some RUclips videos explaining about it as well, how the foundation keeping Jakarta from sinking collapsing due to digging illegal wells.
The sinking didn't happen now, it has been happening over decades but it's ironic that news about Jakarta sinking and government's plans to move the capital city to Borneo happened to gain popularity only around 2019. The awareness of this urgent matter comes extremely late to the locals.
Now it's all forgotten again and everyone in Jakarta here put it in the back of their minds lol.

Jakarta residents and their elected provincial government should start to learn how to solve their own problems and not be so dependent on the central government.

Hahaha exactly.
🤷♂️"Why bother to solve problems when we can create new city "💁♂️
and do u have a solution for this problem ?
Actual solution: Provide piped water
Answer provided by government: GIANT BIRD
Providing piped water to everyone in an already developed and already sinking city could be very costly. Expensive to place the pipes in a very developed city and very expensive to maintain the system as it is still sinking and will continue to sink for a while even if you would manage to provide piped water to everyone overnight. Look at what happened to that sea wall, nobody could figure out that when it inevitably sinks as well it is not going to be watertight anymore?
most of our goverments is corrupt so if only they didnt we probably already have a pipe system already
They need a source of water, a clean river. Jakarta didn't have that much.

I really hope my study will open up new possibilities, insights and solutions to these worsening issues of Jakarta.
Hi there! I hope your study is around completion by now. I would love to know more about it.
Although I live in Semarang, I hope the government can get rid of this problem. Cuz if not, we'll be losing a huge territory. If Tokyo, Shanghai, Bangkok, and Taipei can do it, so can we. if, the government can grasp on and sort out their priorities right
I agree! And though Semarang continues with its problem with flooding (or.. rob) when rainy seasons, I hope we can find solutions for the flooding situation in Semarang as well.

Amazing ! Long time viewer of Vox. Totally blown away with Vox's content in 2021!
and as indonesian students, we're all taught that the primary cause of floods is littering.
That is definitely part of the issue. But as the video spells out, water pumping and the concrete cover Jakarta now is under are the main culprits. If it was just littering, floods could be prevented, just like when Ahok was governor and decided to actually (*GASP!*) /clean/ the waterways.
Littering would only cause a small area of flood
Jakarta don't have any adequate water infrastructure to begin with.
Ce cauti mamica acolo?!
@@MartinVanBoven I totally agree with you! oh how much I miss seeing waterways *actually* being cleaned instead of listening to empty promises🙂 The sad truth is that I would've never known about these real problems if it weren't for Vox.

Corrupt officials have to live there too. Do all of them have the means to flee?
When you prioritize following Sharia law and punishing every heretic for some questionable justification rather than finishing off building the first stages that creates a stable civilization, you know you're in trouble.
Even if they build a piped water system for everyone now, the sinking rate would decrease like a gentle curve. But this is a huge engineering problem, as you can't just build a pipe system in a soil that is moving so quickly and unevenly. It would cause the pipes to break, so in other words: The city is doomed as the solutions get harder to implement

Thank you for giving me nightmares

Thank you, it is so sad for millions of people to suffer all this.
I can confirm that this is a problem, and it is flooding outside my house rn.
I litterally plan to move outside if this keeps going on...
As Jakartans I'm just feel sad because foreign media are much concern about our problem rather than our government officials
This is kinda same with all of us third worlders 😂
Literally all western media.
10:54 quote "Jakarta is sinking into the sea until its goverment figures out how to provide clean, piped water for its citizens" Hey Vox, actually current governor, Mr. Anies Baswedan have plan to sell Jakarta's share stock in liquor factory (PT Delta Djakarta) and then use those money to provide public utility with piping for clean water supply. However local MP member reject that plan (from opposition party of PDIP). It's been stuck in parliament since March 2019.
The Dutch are helping Indonesia heaps, sadly most plans don't make it to reality. That the Indonesian goverment is quite incompetent to come up for all these millions of people. What government are you then!
This media source (vox) shouldn’t be taken seriously. Their only concern is pushing an agenda that the west is evil. If they actually cared, they would offer solutions, or at the very least, be honest.
Jakarta : we're sinking, some people lost their homes
Government : oh no, anyway-
Shame
Oh she passed away? Aww, aww. anyways
IG kamu apa?
Hai kaka! hani
oh no, anyway lets move the capital city to borneo
If government is a single person, wait that's gonna be dictatorship
My point is u should check more into news and they actually try to do that but guess what? Plan got stuck till this day.
Indonesia already has a plan to solve it, but the implementation is very hard. especially in the political season. Better to choose sweet promises unrealized than harsh reality.
I have to say; to blame it on the Dutch empire is a little bit far fetched. They wanted independent and after 70 years the problem hasn't been solved and the canals are still not being maintained.
I bet the problem wasnt even known 70 years ago
For the Indonesian government it's convenient to have others to blame.
The truth is; if they had followed the Dutch city design model, copied their drink water supply infrastructure and water management approach, the problem wouldn't have occurred, because the aquifers would have stayed in a good condition.
Noticeable sinking started in the 1970-ies .. Thirty years after the Dutch left. Twenty years after they start covering the swamps with concrete&asphalt while emptying the aquifers beneath their feet on a massive scale.
That was when Sukarno was president; a Dutch educated civil engineer ...
Hi Vox, as an Indonesian and as a former resident of Jakarta, I cannot thank you enough that you brought up this topic to your platform. I sincerely hope this will raise more awareness and encourage policymakers to take concrete actions to tackle this issue. We really do not wish Jakarta to end up becoming a real Atlantis in an ironic sense.

Vox was wrong putting the blame on others. The Indonesian government had time for over 75 years to fix their water source, but ignored the problem to spend money on useless things. This is the result.
10:13 i'm so sad when i hear this line, that means Jakara (which is my capital city) was almost 50 years behind Tokyo.
Thank you, Vox
Jakarta's clean water has been privatized since 1993. There's now talks about ending the privatization.

The government did care, when the presidential palace got flooded as well.

yea they moved the capital and think the problem solved. but what are they doing is taking down more trees to build a new capital and more deforestation happen
The current president is the same guy who approved the failing seawall project and now he plans to move away to Borneo.

@@kaptenlemper I doubt that even if it was a the largest city in the world, that they would be able to know that it is actually sinking
It wasn't a city when they first settled. Probably was sustainable.
Not just about piped water provision but the solution is also about lesser concretization of the city. Concrete is causing the same problem of flooding in so many cities.
The piped water that the govt provides might also be sourced from ground water, so that's not the end of the matter.

Mexico City faces a similar problem, except that its built on a lake and not on the sea. They have to pump water from reservoirs under the city that would have originally been lakewater, which is making the city sink year by year.
Wow it’s already been a year since this video was released...so quick!
If they’re willing and able to build a giant floating bird, why not just make water pipes?
That floating bird thing won't even solve the problem, it's just gonna push the water to the sides flooding other areas. Water HAS to go somewhere.
@@anudeepk7579 yup
there is a famous saying in Indonesia "if we can make it more difficult why make it easier?"
i live in jakarta all my life and i can tell you the bird city cancelled years ago. Now the strategy we adapt is develop more drainage area to contain flood and rising sea water.
I don’t know if I missed this in the video, but where does the water come from when it’s transported through pipes. Is it coming from the aquifer which would continue the problem? Or is it coming from somewhere else?

Let’s build a giant bird shaped island to temporarily bandaid the problem.
What build pipes? Out of the question.
to build water pipes throughout Jakarta, they'd need a lot more money and time.
also, to free lands, to relocate the illegal residences, adding more water reservoir, finding more resources of clean water, and so on. Jakarta is just too big for its own good.
it'd be on a national level of project and it won't even finish even after 20 years... if the next president continue the project at all.
@@HenSt-gz7qj then keep sinking
Pipes for what ?
@@HenSt-gz7qj they can definitely make it if they progress it aggressively. More progress = slows the rate of sinking. Hence more time for progress.

@@HenSt-gz7qj but isn't it better to have a permanent solution with a big capital cost rather than temperory solution to avoid expenses... if the government don't have enough money ask for money from countries like china or India they are good at giving loans
The cruel but realistic way to solve out the issue is to evacuate settlers along the sea line to another city: otherwise... Jakarta will burden all the damage loss. I feel sorry for Jakartians.
Completely agree . But is so much money in the world, why do not build small cities previous education to take conciencius abut take care it?
The Jakartan Government already tried to move them several times, but they refuse even fight the Government. You can look the news article.

Hard to blame colonialism when the governments after that neglected development of a resevoir-piped water system, as well as Jakarta-centric development policies that made the city's population to skyrocket from less than 2 million in 1950, to more than 10 million today. That's higher than London today.
Similar situation is happening where I live also. Though it's not Indonesia.
We live in mountainous region yet we get flood every year.
Every few year we have to add new layer of floor so that the flood waters doesn't enter.

06:26
Sebaliknya, mereka mula menggunakan air paip.
06:30
Pada tahun 1870-an, mereka mengembangkan bekalan air terpusat pertama,
06:34
dengan paip besi untuk mengedarkan air ke rumah.
06:37
Paip menyediakan air minuman bersih dan bilik mandi dalaman.
06:41
Tetapi paipnya tertumpu di kawasan-kawasan ini, tempat Belanda berpindah.
06:46
Penduduk asli ditinggalkan di penempatan tidak formal, yang disebut "kampung,"
06:50
jauh dari air paip.
06:52
Dan ini mewujudkan jenis perpecahan baru di bandar.
07:09
Penduduk asli terpaksa bergantung kepada penjual jalan untuk mendapatkan air.
07:13
Tetapi selalunya, mereka terpaksa mendapatkan air mereka dari terusan yang terabaikan.
07:18
Perlu beberapa dekad sebelum paip akhirnya dibina di komuniti ini.
07:22
Dan ketika mereka berada, hanya beberapa pendirian awam.
07:44
Ini berterusan sehingga tahun 1949.
07:47
Setelah konflik bersenjata, Belanda akhirnya mengakui kemerdekaan Indonesia, dan pergi.
07:55
Warisan yang mereka tinggalkan adalah kota yang luas,
07:58
dibina di tanah paya, dan diasingkan dengan akses air,
08:02
bahawa, sekarang, orang-orang Jakartan harus berurusan.
08:05
Selama beberapa dekad berikutnya, penduduk Jakarta meroket.
08:10
Lebih ramai orang memerlukan lebih banyak perumahan, lebih banyak kedai, dan lebih banyak jalan.
08:14
Dan bandar berkembang dengan pantas.
08:17
Tetapi infrastruktur airnya masih tidak berfungsi untuk sebahagian besar bandar.
08:22
Carta ini menunjukkan berapa banyak penduduk Jakarta mempunyai air paip.
08:26
Itu 12 peratus pada 50-an, dan masih di bawah 50 peratus hari ini.
08:31
Ramai orang yang tidak mendapat bekalan air paip
08:34
tidak mempunyai pilihan lain selain terus mengepam air bawah tanah untuk terus hidup.
08:38
Dan bandar itu terus tenggelam.
08:42
Keadaan menjadi sangat teruk,
08:43
kerajaan Indonesia telah berbicara tentang memindahkan ibu negara, dari Jakarta,
08:48
ke pulau Borneo yang berdekatan.
08:50
Tetapi itu tidak akan membantu berjuta-juta orang yang tinggal di Jakarta.
08:56
Untuk menyelamatkan bandar, pada tahun 2014, kerajaan mengumumkan projek,
09:00
dengan kerjasama firma seni bina Belanda,
09:03
untuk membina dan mengukuhkan 120 km laut,
09:07
untuk menghentikan air membanjiri tanah ketika tenggelam.
09:10
Tetapi setakat ini, hanya 10 kilometer ini yang diperkuat.
09:15
Seperti ini di Muara Baru.
09:18
Masalahnya adalah, seperti halnya Jakarta yang lain, laut juga tenggelam.
09:31
Projek ini juga merangkumi rancangan $ 40 bilion yang bercita-cita tinggi
09:35
untuk membina tembok sepanjang 38 km, berbentuk seperti burung besar,
09:39
untuk melindungi pantai dari banjir.
09:41
Tetapi projek ini memerlukan masa sehingga 30 tahun untuk disiapkan.
09:45
Dan pada masa itu, Jakarta mungkin telah kehilangan sebagian besar daratan pesisirnya.
10:03
Jakarta akan terus tenggelam hingga air tanah berhenti dipompa.
10:08
Dan air bawah tanah akan terus dipam
10:11
sehingga kerajaan memberikan alternatif.
10:14
Ini telah dilakukan sebelum ini. Pada tahun 1950-an,
10:17
Tokyo berjaya menghentikan tenggelam teruk dengan menyediakan air paip.
10:21
Taipei, Shanghai, Bangkok, adalah bandar-bandar lain di rantau ini
10:25
yang berjaya menghentikan bandar mereka daripada tenggelam.
10:28
Tetapi masa hampir habis.
10:42
Jakarta telah bebas dari pemerintahan Belanda selama lebih dari 70 tahun sekarang.
10:47
Tetapi cara Belanda membina bandar mereka, mengukirnya,
10:50
dan mengehadkan airnya, merebaknya hingga hari ini.
10:54
Jakarta tenggelam ke laut.
10:56
Dan, sehingga kerajaannya mengetahui bagaimana menyediakan air bersih dan paip untuk warganya,
11:02
itu akan terus menjadi kenyataannya.
11:05
Selama masih ada di sini.
