The city is rapidly sinking.<\/p><p>As migrants continue to flood into the city, the urban area\u2019s expanding population is increasing the demand for groundwater resources, which are taken from directly underneath residents\u2019 feet. New shopping malls, apartments and office buildings not only contribute to excessive water extraction, but under their own weight, also push the Indonesian capital deeper into the ground, subsequently increasing the future risk of floods in surrounding areas.<\/p><p>The sinking is so severe that is occurring on average at 10cm per year however in certain parts of the city, the decline has been documented by as much as 30cm per year.<\/p><p>As early as in the 1800s, Jakarta\u2019s vulnerability to flooding was identified by the Dutch who colonised Indonesia in the early 17th century. They built a series of canals and floodgates in the city that were used during times of flood to control the passage of water throughout the urban area.<\/p><p>Today, most of these canals and floodgates have fallen into disrepair. Neglected for decades, they fail to serve their original purpose to help save the city from the influx of the seasonal floods. The problem is exacerbated by the fact that the capital\u2019s rivers are now choked with pollution. Refuse and trash are disposed into the rivers by millions of local residents daily, leading to all of the canals and rivers within the city becoming regularly blocked.<\/p><p>It is estimated that up to a third of Jakarta could be underwater within the next 20-30 years. The solutions to Jakarta\u2019s problems are complex and daunting. The city\u2019s expanding economy and place on the global scale is threatened by both natural and man-made causes, all of which are contributing to the city\u2019s challenges. Jakarta is not only a city on the front line of climate change but also one that is contributing to its own demise, as overpopulation and water pollution further inflate the city\u2019s problems.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section
