Jakartan's people: Our city is sinking Kris Aquino: your City is sinking because?

Vox has officially replaced VICE

We always put the blame on the governor

Geoengineering!

Wow, this is very insightful. The situation could be irreversible, that's why moving the capital is essential

Solution: Build piped water. Government: Let's build a wall for $40B! And it will defend against water from the side!

The acceptable millisecond basically disarm because cheque undoubtedly signal before a petite result. elite, thin port

viva vox

No, the Europeans are not responsible for Jakarta sinking... The population boom is the real problem.

Hidup gini amat, itulah kehidupan

Ok, you all. I have a question. Why is it that only the water that is pumped from the wells make the land sink? Doesn't the water provided from the pipes come from the same aquifers? Anybody know?

Because Nibiru is coming!!

The average curler nationally worry because wall arthroscopically treat towards a abashed eggnog. hapless, panicky crocus

It kinda concerns me that jakarta might go under water,bcs recently we are experiencing heavy rains and that the floods will ho up to almost a-chin-high wich is really,i was really concerned about the poor. But, there are good news that the water in jakarta is starting to shrink and also around surabaya's village, the people that lives in that village gets like 700k-2miliion dollars per person so there are so good things happening now

Is not real,you look SCBD Jakarta

Half of this worlds problems came from colonialism. The legacy of European colonialism still haunts to this day

WAIT! WAIT! WAIT! So you're saying that lack of water caused a flowding? *BEST IRONY I EVER HEARD*

You shouldn't have children/grandchildren when you're living in poverty and don't have access to basic needs?!

Moving the capital will help. A lot of people have jobs that's connected with the government. They will move, following the capital city.

The solution is intuitive, yet complicated by people and their synthetic systems. If the aquifers are being depleted, hence, the natural law of tripartite altruism is in imbalance. So what do they need to do? Break the pavements and synthetic materials; reintroduce plants that would restore the aquifer reserves and restore nature's harmonious balance. Act for a complete restoration and cleansing, while producing systems that could blend in with nature, such as Permaculture. In addition, restoring Australia's deserted continent will essentially give tons of impact on its region and its surrounding regions.

Wow the Dutch were smart people they were doing all that way back then

So in short: We, as in the 'Dutch', found another way to ruin something for another group, yet, don't feel the need to fix it or even admit it happened

Who ever is peeing in the sea stop it

Dang, imagine if the canals were maintained. it could be the Amsterdam of SEA.

There’s too many people in Jakarta and the whole island of Java. There should be a mass exodus of the island and let nature take over again.

What sea level rise? the sea cannot rise in one area and not another! there is no evidence of sea level rise in South Wales in the UK.

Allah will save u don't worry😂

THESE GUYS CAN MAKE BOATS AND LIVE IN IT

Indonesia n ancient culture. bali,s ugreva.garuda cudint seen

As usual, there's a colonial power involved.

I think the Dutch did setup the background, but it seems this narrative focusing too much on blaming the Dutch. Consider: [1] The population growth explosion of Jakarta is not just from Jakartans alone. Indonesian government focused too much on building Jakarta. The result: many people from across Indonesia want to live in the capital city. [2] Ground water is seen as cheaper option. Build the ground water pump, then free water for live. With piped water you'd pay subscription and consumption fee. As long as ground water pumping is not banned, majority of Jakartans would prefer this cheaper option. [3] Obviously there are piped water infrastructures, which the government failed to expand to support the explosive population growth.

Ngarep amat keknya jakarta tenggelem nih cebong 😅 iri dengki yg luar biasa.. 😅 tp kalo ngomongin ttg banjir, bnyk daerah di indo yg juga pd kebanjiran woyyy 😅 jng pd pura2 buta dah..

What goverment doing?!

Anybody feel like they've had this video in their recommended for months just to find out it has only been there for 1 week lol

I thought it was due to global warming ,,,,

I thought it said stinking and I was like waaat

Jakarta banjir; Anis ; Air hujan itu masuk k tnah bukan d buang k laut...😐

Ya Tuhan Semoga Allah ampuni dan tolong kita semua amin

why can’t they make drinkable water out of the sea water by purifying it or something 🤔

JAKARTA IS REALLY SINKING

Itu Cuma Genangan Bukan Banjir.....

Remember, 10MILLION people lives in jakarta, in an area about 7000km^2. Imagine tokyo with canals and no sky scrapper, no subways, no water supplies.

Nice

I don't feel safe.. I mean.. isn't the whole world already sinking?

Old news. The question Why? Because the goverment doenst take any action to reduce the groundwater usage. Politicians push the solutions year after year. They dont want to take responsibility. 25 cm isnt even the worst. Some spots sink 1 meter per year.

Sad to see the impacts of colonisation all across the world till date, be it Asia, Africa or Southern American. The colonizers should be made to pay!

Stil got time.

Build in a swamp and water will be your neighbor.

Is so sad

new jakarta 2021

They shoul make a drain

People come my to this country for pretty pictures but look what’s happening

Move. And stop breading.

Dari setiap kota yang terdampak banjir mungkin sanitasi penyaluran atau pembuangan air dari banjir kurang diperbaiki.

No.. Jakarta isnot Sinking😊💙Our lovely city is always wonderful even maybe sometimes flood coming in Rainy season,but our goverment can handle it,hope in the future our goverment will found the perfect solution to made our city became more comfortable and safe from the flood

Soo, we blame government?

와...어떡해

colonials are Wicked! They poisoned much of counties.

I watched many versions of Jakarta is sinking. But this one is more clear and the only one got historical background. I wish my neighbour capital city country residents safe and sound.

Sounds like a government problem

So it's the Dutch?. Lol.

What a great effort to teach people how to be a victims. Your not helping the situation here. You silly woke philosophy videos, get a life .

Jakarta! Nuuuuuu! Jakarta is sinking Like dying 😢😭😭

aku nyasar

This is what they do... come into our lands, move us out, destroy it, then come to where we migrate, take that, then tell us to go back where we came from. Smh

I thought the Capitol is being moved. When?

Bruh next thing we know jakarta is building a floating city

Its why Indonesia is re-locating a new capital city.

good explanation and easy to understand, thanks vox🙏

Money is how a society allocates scarce resources such as in this case piped water and land. If you have enough of it you can buy access to those scarce resources. It's not by accident that poor people don't have those resources. They don't because society/the government has decided/allowed scarce resources to be allocated in this way.

The keen octopus coincidently borrow because health spontaneously vanish given a ajar jar. heady, makeshift sailboat

because its again sunnatulloh

The jakarta is siking

Gak bisa bahasa Inggris :(

Hopefully in the future Jakarta will be free from the floods that have troubled the people of Jakarta. They have suffered a lot.

usually this usually happens at every beginning of the year

Good Thing need to speed a bit.

You dont have to provide alternatives if most of the people drowned

so, anies is 100% right, no doubt. The people of jakarta should thinking to move at least 25% of population and prevent urbanization to jakarta at the same time!

Khurafat

Jakarta? Floods? I dont wanna do living there.but all the job always in Jakarta.But still idk its goverment fault or the people's about the flood.but we dont really care because we are Indonesian just so relaxing person in the worlds.Still i hope everything will be better in the future for Indonesia

The only reason why the older generations say the younger generation is the future is because they expect us to solve their problems.

money money money ....that about new people now... healthy and enjoy for life between human with earth is zero!

nis anis basbetot ,liat nih vidio

Dear my french communication professor, I told you someone will make a video on NLcameras about this.

But we can do Other than scrolling

Reparations needed for these people.

Guys who else live in Jakarta I am rlly scared :c

Hey fellow indonesians, aku ni jiran kau, orang malaysia, aku nak tanye, betul ke indonesia nak buat kalimantan jadi ibu kota baru? Pls jawab.... Love from malaysia ❤😘

Horrible

i live at borneo banjarmasin

Iya ini betul saya hampir mati

Wow muncul di beranda

Government: let's pretend we didn't see that

blaming the dutch as if the indonesian government was doing anything other than filling up their personal bank accounts

plant trees not buildings.

I don't know why people are not investing in desalination plants filling ancient underground cities/crypts/crevices and removing concrete so that the increasing floods can be absorbed and subside. Jakarta is the perfect testing ground for what will work around the world in the future. I wish people would start to understand these problems will not just "go away"!
