weaving final report 2

"To make matters worse, Jakarta is sinking. Groundwater extraction from 140 meters deep or more by factories, hotels, shopping centers and other developments, as well as backyard wells, has caused the land to sink by an average of 5 to 10 centimeters a year, according to World Bank studies, and up to 25 centimeters or more in the worst-hit areas. "

T______T from the analysis, then im sure it is not only jakarta the only place that's sinking. because the national water supply is just not reliable, people escorted to dig out water on their own, eliminating monthly cost, which leads to using it with little reservation, and this is what happens.

5-10 cm is really alot *o* and this was stated on 2009.

oh indonesia. always sad stories whenever talking about the nature.
