dunia masih disibukkan soal pemulihan

covid 19

tapi

di sini

di Jakarta Utara ada bahaya lain yang

diam-diam siap mengancam

Jakarta akan tenggelam

sekitar 10,6 juta Warga Jakarta Menurut

data terakhir tahun 2021 akan terdampak

dan masih ada penduduk Jakarta yang

tidak tahu akan bahaya itu

pesisir Utara tuh sangat sensitif dengan

banjir asal pasang Purnama pasti Rob itu

terjadi Itu otomatis cuman pertanyaannya

robnya makin meluas atau tidak rohnya

itu makin lama atau tidak

[Musik]

Bagaimanakah nasib mereka ke depan

Apakah ada upaya penanggulangannya dan

dari mana ini Bermula

bersama saya Adra inilah voice Explore

guys kalian tahu kan kalau Jakarta itu

terkenalnya itu karena macet gitu ya

kayak beberapa daerah Jakarta atau dari

Jakarta Pusat itu macet banget udah

parah gitu ya Nah tapi sampai kena-kena

macet Jakarta juga terkenal karena

banjirnya gitu ya Jadi kalau udah hujan

yang intensitasnya tinggi itu biasanya

tuh udah mulai tuh banyak banjir

dimana-mana ataupun juga pas musim hujan

gitu ya Nah hal ini itu biasanya

dikarenakan oleh pemanfaatan dan

manajemen sungainya yang kurang dan juga

karena pemanasan global ya kayak kalian

bisa lihat langsung nih di sini ya kalau

udah kering itu kering banget tapi kalau

juga udah hujan atau basah gitu ya itu

juga bisa menyebabkan banjir nah tapi

banjir ini juga bisa disebabkan oleh

permukaan air tanah yang turun

dikarenakan penyerapan air tanahnya itu

yang cukup masih gitu nah sekarang Nih

aku lagi ada di tempat yang menjadi

salah satu bukti nyata bahwa penurunan

Tanah ini tuh bener-bener impactnya gede

banget jadi di belakang tembok ini

itu ada salah satu masjid ya yang

namanya mushola waladuna Itu tuh yang

udah tenggelam sejak 2001 dikarenakan

itu tadi permukaan tanah yang turun

sehingga airnya itu menggenang si

mushola ini

musholla terletak di Muara Baru Jakarta

Utara Secara geografis mushola ini

berada di ujung Jakarta berbatasan

langsung dengan laut

[Musik]

jika kita datang ke mushola ini pada

tahun

1997 mungkin kita masih bisa sholat

khusyuk di dalamnya

Tapi tidak untuk saat ini

inilah gambaran Mushola yang diabadikan

oleh citra satelit dalam kurun waktu 20

tahun yaitu dari tahun 2003 hingga Tahun

2022

namun semuanya telah berubah

kini mushola ini hanya bisa kita nikmati

dari atapnya saja karena sisanya sudah

tenggelam oleh air

dan itu terus berlanjut

[Musik]

dari semua fakta-fakta yang terjadi

Apakah kita bisa mencari solusi agar

Jakarta tidak tenggelam

menurut pakar ini semua gara-gara ulah

kita sendiri semuanya bermula dari

aliran sungai yang sudah tidak organik

ada pengaruh penyedotan air tanah ada

kemudian ada kemudian mengenai pengaruh

perubahan iklim kita udah tahu memang

sudah ada bukti perubahan iklim gitu kan

terutama dari perubahan

pola hujan pola hujan jadi ada

pengaruhnya ada tapi kemudian Jangan

lupa loh bahwa

perubahan dari rezim sungainya itu yang

kemudian seringkali kita lupa gitu bahwa

sungai-sungai yang ada di Jakarta ini

sudah lama sekali diubah dari aslinya

dan itu yang kemudian manajemen

pengelolaan sungainya itu yang kemudian

berpengaruh terhadap apa yang kita

hadapi sekarang mulai dari banjir banjir

rob terus kemudian juga penurun luka

tanah pertama gini wilayah pesisir Utara

itu sangat sensitif dengan banjir rob ya

sebetulnya tuh kalau mereka yang tinggal

di utara tuh udah tahu sebulan sebulan

dua kali asal pasang Purnama pasti Rob

itu terjadi Itu otomatis cuman

pertanyaannya robnya makin meluas atau

tidak rohnya itu makin lama atau tidak

ya kan harusnya model Jakarta ini kalau

genangan-genangan itu genangan harusnya

Tinggal Kenangan

kita ini nggak dari tahun ke tahun jadi

Bentang alamnya rusak ketika terjadi

banjir rob makin lama makin luas Kenapa

makin luas karena makin lama terjadi

penurunan permukaan tanah

jadi dulu hanya sekian tahu-tahu

penurunannya makin cepat makin cepat

makin cepat dia makin luas belum lagi

ditambah dengan intrusi air laut

Ini adalah peta Jakarta tahun 1997 warna

hijau adalah tanda ketinggian tanah yang

menurun

di tahun 2017 warna hijau sudah menyebar

hingga setengah kota Jakarta dan

diperkirakan tahun 2050 daerah di Utara

Jakarta sudah tenggelam

kalau pengambilan air tanah itu

berpengaruh pada lain subsitu penurunan

permukaan tanah ini kan Sungai nah dia

kalau terjadi penurunan permukaan tanah

itu sebetulnya berbeda dengan persoalan

wilayah daerah aliran sungainya cuman

dikhawatirkan

eksploitasi air tanah yang berlebihan

menyebabkan penurunan permukaan

penurunan permukaan itu menyebabkan

potensi genangan Jangan lupa loh kalau

Jakarta itu adanya di tepi laut

kalau mukar tanah turun Akan Kemudian

intrusir lo masuk jadi mengimbangi gitu

dan sekarang intuisi air laut sudah

sampai dengan di Jakarta Pusat jadi

bukannya tanahnya kosong jadi ngempis

gitu ada beberapa yang terkompresibel ya

tapi hanya

ter lokasi terukur di beberapa titik aja

Jakarta ini kan bertahun-tahun Coba

semua gedung-gedung besar mengambil air

karena jalan pintas kemampuan Pak Liza

untuk mensuplai gedung-gedung besar

perkantoran perusahaan perbelanjaan

Hotel apartemen dari Mana airnya karena

semua orang berpikir investasi udah

bangun besar ini kalau nggak ada air

jalan pintas yang cara berlebihan

mengambil air tanah dalam yang kita 2003

penurunan inilah yang menjadi persoalan

karena apa dia menjadi genangan bisa

merusak juga sistem drainase kota

jadi misalnya dia gravitasi

tiba-tiba ada yang turun akhirnya di

sini airnya mengalir terus ujungnya

tergenang di sini

karena dia menjadi turun menjadi

wilayah-wilayah yang mudah lama air itu

bertahan kalau kemudian kita lihat dari

lokasi sumur-sumur industri terus

kemudian lokasi bangunan-bangunan tinggi

densitasnya itu adalah di tengah di

daerah Jakarta kenapa ya ambles di situ

gitu mulai dari Jakarta Pusat ya mungkin

segitu Utara gitu tapi justru dia ada di

lokasi lain gitu nah dengan demikian

Jadi pertanyaan kan memang bener apa

namanya penyedotan tanah kemudian

mengakibatkan terjadinya penumpukan

tanah ya kalau tidak mau kebanjiran

jangan tinggal di pinggir sungai

misalnya itu kan kata pepatah katanya

pertanyaan gini

jangan tinggal di wilayah punya potensi

bencana ada yang mengatakan Pak

banjirnya cuman 3 hari setahun 365 kan

ada 362 tapi kalau banjir rob itu nggak

bisa

setiap bulan datang pertanyaannya kalau

tiap bulan datang berapa produktivitas

kita

Bagaimana kesehatan kita bagaimana

sanitasi kita yang mungkin bisa aja mau

ngomong

kayak orang yang

banjir ya kebakaran di sini mah ya biasa

Iya dari kecil pokoknya kebakaran

banjiran

sekarang udah mending semenjak tembok

begini

begitu lagi

Ya

sudah ada bentuk nyata nih dari hasil

global warming dari hasil penyurutannya

tanah ya gara-gara penyerapan air tanah

yang cukup masih itu sehingga membuat

musholawat aduna ini jadi tenggelam yang

bahkan sudah tidak bisa dipakai lagi

yang Padahal tadi itu bisa dipakai untuk

tempat beribadah ya kan tapi hanya

karena itu tadi siapa yang aku udah

bilangnya Jadinya enggak bisa beroperasi

lagi sejak 2001 gitu Apakah musholawat

urine ini bisa disebut sebagai Monumen

masa depan

jangan lupa ya kasih tau ke kita Apakah

bisa nih karena ini adalah benar-benar

representasi nyata nih biasanya kalau

Monumen itu kan terkenalnya dari masa

lalu gitu ya tapi kalau ini Kelihatan

banget dengan jelas bisa menjadi monumen

masa depan

Nah untuk nextnya kalian kira-kira mau

kita export tempat apa lagi nih Jangan

lupa ya tulis di kolom komentar karena

kita pengen tahu tempat-tempat apa yang

bisa kita ekspor Oke jadi kalau gitu

sampai bertemu di next voice export oke

bye bye
