Southeast Asian countries sink into the sea the fastest in the world

Every year, this country sinks deep up to 25cm and within 10 years, the entire capital will be flooded with sea water.

The Daily Mail reported that the country is sinking into the sea with the fastest speed in the world is Indonesia .

Jakarta is building a perimeter around the city to avoid water attack.However, this solution is considered ineffective because the ground still falls and the sea level rises.

Many areas in the northern city of Jakarta have been hit by water attacks over time.It is expected that in the next few years, this area will be completely submerged.Jakarta city has 13 rivers pouring in and the annual rainfall reaches 130cm.However, the main reason is because the land in this city is falling at a rapid pace.

One reason is that Jakarta people regularly dig wells to self-supply water.This makes the ground hollow and makes it collapse quickly.Sewerage and waste disposal systems in Jakarta are also very poor, so stagnant conditions often occur.

Environmental scientists calculate that in the next 10 years, 4 million Jakarta residents will be seriously affected.In 2007, a flood in the city killed 50 people and another 30,000 people had to relocate.

JanJaap Brinkman, an expert on water treatment, said: 'We researched and found many places in Jakarta, the speed of sinking into the sea is 5-10cm / year. In particular, there are cases of subsidence of 25cm / year '.

Indonesia is spending $ 40 billion to resolve the flooding situation but only as "saltwater dump."The construction process has also been delayed many times due to lack of capital.
