The Proposed Groundwater Management for the Greater Jakarta Area, Indonesia

  • Chapter

Abstract

The Greater Jakarta, the capital city of Republic of Indonesia, occupies the northern zone of Java Island and the elevations of this plain vary from 0 to 1,000 m above sea level. Some evident showed that the population influenced the condition of groundwater resources in this megacity as most of them acquire the needed water by groundwater abstraction. It caused a negative impact on these resources itself both quantity and quality. Therefore, the proper groundwater management of this area should be established and the groundwater management should cover the two important aspects, i.e., physical and technical aspects, and social and non technical aspects.
