The sinking of Jakarta by 2030 is a critical issue that demands our attention. In this talk, we will delve deeper into the root causes of this phenomenon and explore the various factors contributing to it, specifically from a Water Engineering perspective. We will examine the impacts of the sinking, such as increased flooding and land subsidence, on the city's infrastructure and its citizens. Furthermore, we will discuss the urgent need for action and explore potential solutions to this problem. By talking about this issue, we hope to inspire change and mitigate the effects of Indonesia’s sinking on how we can tackle this complex issue and build a more sustainable future. Novi Andriany Teguh graduated with a Bachelor of Civil Engineering from Bandung Institute of Technology. She pursued her master’s degree in Germany. She studied Water Resources Engineering and Management at the University of Stuttgart with a full scholarship from the DAAD (German Academic Exchange Service). Before returning back to Indonesia, she completed an internship at Altenbockum & Partner – a private company working in the sectors of soil, groundwater, hard rock, land recycling, and buildings. Currently, she works as a lecturer at the Department of Civil Engineering ITS. She is also a member of the Water Resources and Coastal Engineering Laboratory there. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at [ Ссылка ]
