    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.

    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.

      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.

      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.

    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.

    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.

      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?

      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 ...

      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.

    MALAY SUBTITLES Part 2 of 2
    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.
