Jakarta will sink?

Jakarta threatened drowned on December 6 years old in 2025. This issue has been long enough to hear but it seems not many people bring to the people of Indonesia-Jakarta in particular. This arises due to the threat of development is not a good governance environment. Jakarta sinking on that date based on cycle astronomikal 18.6 years. At that time, higher sea level will rise dramatically, so the city can sink a 12 million is. Many reasons related to this threat. The most heard is increasing the earth temperature or global warming.

However, more needs to be whether that be the biggest threat to the city of Jakarta. The fact is the development in Jakarta is uncontrolled. Can be seen now that the development of Jakarta is not restrained with a drainage system that is not good. Another reason is that the population of Jakarta has been using ground water are uncontrollable also surpass the limit of a reasonable use of land to be so empty.

The Committee on Climate Change, a body affiliated with the government estimates the high sea level in the year 2025 will increase 5 cm. However Brinkman (Jaap Brinkman, engineers who work in the body of consultant the Netherlands, Delft Hydraulics) Jakarta said the height will be 40-60 cm lower than the height now. Areas affected if Jakarta is sinking areas near the Sea of Java.

For many years ago we tell each other to flood in Jakarta that is happen once in 5 years. But try to see for 3 last year, flood is happen every year and even a heavy rain had immobilized Jakarta. We should be carefully about this. Maybe we should build building with planned drainage. Or maybe we must think about natural home building with sun power. Hope we can save the earth
