Jakarta Through Water's Lens | Data-Driven Dashboard for Sustainable Water Management
This data visualization project transforms complex water distribution and consumption data in DKI Jakarta into actionable insights. By analyzing patterns in supply, demand, pipe water coverage, and groundwater reliance at regional, district, and subdistrict levels, the dashboard empowers businesses, policymakers, and residents to make informed decisions for sustainable water resource management.

Over 60% of people In Jakarta rely on groundwater as a primary water source. This is the primary driver of the city's land subsidence.

Jakarta’s pipe water system serves only 40% of the population, leaving most residents reliant on groundwater due to its affordability and accessibility. Poor regulation has allowed illegal wells to proliferate, further depleting aquifers. As groundwater levels drop, residents dig deeper, worsening land subsidence and creating a destructive cycle that threatens the city’s future.

The government plans to achieve 100% pipe water coverage by 2030. However, high costs, slow progress, and public distrust of pipe water quality persist. Many residents with access to piped water still rely on groundwater, highlighting the need for a deeper understanding of water usage behaviors and influencing factors.

Context
Jakarta is the fastest sinking city in the world.
By 2050, 50% of Jakarta will be underwater during high tides.

Jakarta’s rapid urbanization, poor water management, and unregulated groundwater extraction are fueling a sinking crisis. As a densely populated coastal city, it faces rising flood risks, failing infrastructure, and mounting challenges tied to its geography and water dependency.

Sea Level Rise
Sea Level Rise
Accelerated by climate change, rising sea levels increase pressure on low-lying land, exacerbating subsidence.
Rapid Urbanization
Rapid Urbanization
Expanding cities add weight to the land, disrupt natural water absorption, and limit groundwater recharge.
Groundwater Over-extraction
Groundwater Over-extraction
Excessive pumping of underground aquifers weakens the soil and rock layers, causing the ground to sink.
