Flooding in Jakarta occurs on the northwest coast of Java, at the mouth of the Ciliwung River on Jakarta Bay, which is an inlet of the Java Sea and has happened recently in 1996, 2002, 2007 and 2013. ==Jakarta geography== *''See also Jakarta#Geography'' The area of the Jakarta Special District is 662 km2 of land area and 6,977 km2 of sea area.〔Based on Governor Decree in 2007, No. 171. taken from Statistics DKI Jakarta Provincial Office, ''Jakarta in Figures'', 2008, BPS, Province of DKI Jakarta〕 Jakarta lies in a low, flat basin, averaging above sea level; 40% of Jakarta, particularly the northern areas, is below sea level,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Tides: Efforts Never End to Repel an Invading Sea )〕 while the southern parts are comparatively hilly. Rivers flow from the Puncak highlands to the south of the city, across the city northwards towards the Java Sea; the Ciliwung River, divides the city into the western and eastern principalities. Other rivers include the Pesanggrahan, and Suntnd high sea tides. Other contributing factors include clogged sewage pipes and waterways that service an increasing population, in addition to deforestation near rapidly urbanizing Bogor and Depok in Jakarta's hinterland. Jakarta is an urban area with complex socio-economic problems that indirectly contribute to triggering a flood event. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Flooding in Jakarta」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
