The World Bank has announced on Thursday that Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia will be under the threat of flood on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Thousands of people will probably leave their homes and the roads to the international airport will be cut off. The situation will be aggravated by the fact that because of the global warming Jakarta sinks for 5 centimeters every year.
"And this is only the beginning",- warns the infrastructure expert of the bank Hongjoo Hahm. - "It will be only worse further".
As the result, according to the opinion of the expert, the government of the country should think about a dam construction to protect the Jakarta bay from flood.
The World Bank performs it's forecast basing upon the fact that the 18-years long tidy cycle starts now, that happens when the Moon and the Sun form a line and are located at their closest distances to the Earth. Also other factors like the global warming, El-Nino and La-Nina contribute to the process. |
