Thousands of years ago, a network of rivers, among others that include the majestic Ciliwung, wound their way through the plains, depositing silt below sea level on the coast of the Java Sea, turning it into a fertile, low-lying alluvial plain with soft soil and swamps.
By the fifth century the Tarumanagara kingdom emerged and chiseled messages in stone tell us they were busy digging canals. Over a thousand years later, he Dutch discovered soon after their arrival that one of their warehouses slowly sank into the mud. Like Tarumanagara, the Dutch solution was to dig canals around Batavia. Dealing with banjir is nothing new, it seems.

The rivers clogged up as mills and farms threw their dirt and rubbish into the rivers.
