UI Students Win Gold Medal Thanks to Innovation in Desalination Technology to Overcome Water Crisis – Jakarta

The results of this research are outlined in a scientific work entitled “GO-FILTER: Sea Water Desalination Based on Graphene Oxide as a Water Treatment Innovation in Jakarta”. “Currently, increasing water pollution in Jakarta is starting to trigger a water crisis. In some areas, groundwater can no longer be an alternative water source due to land subsidence and sea water intrusion in Jakarta. Utilizing seawater as Jakarta’s water source using the desalination method has emerged as an alternative solution. “However, this method requires quite large costs and the reverse osmosis process and multistage distillation method leads to an increase in greenhouse gases,” said [

Jakarta Is Sinking. Now Indonesia Has to Find a New Capital – Indonesia

This week, amid devastating flooding, Indonesia announced it’s planning to move its capital out of Jakarta, which really is nothing new—the country’s first president was talking about it way back in 1957.

Part of the problem is extreme congestion, but today the city of more than 10 million is facing nothing short of obliteration by rising seas and sinking land, two opposing yet complementary forces of doom. Models predict that by 2050, 95 percent of North Jakarta could be submerged.

And Jakarta is [
