Description
Jakarta is sinking at an alarming rate of 12 cm per year, and if nothing is done, the city could be completely underwater within a few decades. However, the Indonesian government has a bold plan to save its capital with the construction of the Garuda Seawall. This massive project, with an initial budget of $10.5 billion, aims to protect Jakarta from the relentless threat of rising sea levels and severe flooding.
In this video, we delve into the details of why Jakarta is the fastest sinking mega-city in the world. From the excessive weight of high-rise buildings to widespread groundwater extraction and the natural challenges posed by its coastal location, we explore the factors contributing to this crisis. We'll also discuss the environmental concerns and opposition the seawall project has faced, and why the government is now determined to push forward with it.
Stay tuned as we uncover the ambitious three-phase construction plan of the Garuda Seawall, which promises to be an engineering marvel like no other. Discover how this project aims to not only save Jakarta but also transform its future. Will this modern-day miracle succeed in saving Jakarta? Watch to find out!
