A s the NCICD plan morphed and evolved and stalled, Jakarta kept flooding, and attention shifted to the other side of the equation – stopping the city from sinking any further. The biggest problem is water. The only thing Jakarta needs to do is to stop the deep groundwater use and the sinking will stop within five to 10 years. The megaproject could even exacerbate the problems facing Jakarta … Then you do not need a closed Jakarta Bay, you do not need a giant seawall.'
Jakarta is sinking by an average of 1-15cm a year and almost half the city now sits below sea level. Since the 1970s, parts of Jakarta have sunk more than four metres, at a rate of up to 25 centimetres a year. He says it will only buy Jakarta an extra 20-30 years to stop the long-term subsidence.
The giant seawall will not stop Jakarta from sinking if the problem of groundwater extraction remains unsolved.
Unlike Australia, Indonesia does not have a series of dams and pipes to deliver water to all the 10 million-plus residents of its biggest city. That means these areas are sinking faster than any other city in the world.
