Topic flooding in Jakarta

You just need help me complete one parts of 8.1 and 8.2, note that not all of them. each part need 1 -2 Paragraph.

1. Current approach to key issues (1-2 paragraphs for each)

• Key issues (introduction):
  • Flooding- which is made worse by (1) groundwater extraction, (2) overpopulation in high risk areas with the worst flooding, (3) sea level rise is a threat to the city which is already below sea level, (4) pollution makes rivers and groundwater inaccessible for drinking water source
• You just need help me finish (3) sea level rise is a threat to the city which is already below sea level
• 2. Suggested Planning Approach. Solutions (1-2 paragraphs for each)
• (1) Enforcing strict regulations on groundwater extraction, while the government also steps up to provide a clean water alternative until the more costly solution of technology to allow water to recharge into the aquifer is availabl
• (2) Provide affordable, government-subsidized/funded housing for people who currently live in high risk areas in slums, which will reduce mortality rates from flooding.
• (3) Although reducing the impact of sea level rise on the coast is very important, expensive infrastructure projects in the future may not be the most efficient route to solving Jakarta’s most pressing issues.
  • Funnel the money instead into solving the issue with groundwater extraction so that land subsidence reduces
  • Also, allocate money for relocating people from slums to better housing options that move people away from high-risk flooding areas.
