it is now on the saw. what is it really is possible to reverse the researchers and scientists all over the world for you know, race against time. they are peers and rivals with one daring goals to help smart nature. the more likes watching it on youtube dw documentary, this is the, the newest aisha are coming up to the over use of took off the ground water is causing the city to sink. now the government is making efforts to prevent the food, its being time to save the city and is moving the capital to another one. the only viable long term solution, the

i bit expanded. you're welcome to dw news. aisha. innovation is moving ahead but plans to relocate it's capital city from jakarta to east caught him on time by 2024 . some parts of the government are expected to move this year itself. one of the biggest reasons for the move is the fact that the jakarta is literally sinking. groundwater deserves depleting due to over use and sea levels are rising at the same time. conditions that make everyday life. the struggle for many it's an almost daily reach. well, for people in water, okay, fresh water is being delivered. a district card of software is right next to the coast line. and like the rest of the nation's capital, is sinking at an alarming rate. allowing sea water to put much of the ground water

the, the filing will not sound a lot of that one to 2 tables. residents use ground water for washing and bathing one. did you got a f, a k a. i've got the got filed little side when you got to make sure body itchy. the underwater is also a bit greasy of the month. full monthly adam must inside the long got moment in cup . come from the girls who can afford it. also by fresh water to take a 2nd shower after using the ground water and it'd be, it'd be less. i thought i had another good again, but the only 60 percent of the capital is connected to a pipe water system. the rest have to pump water from private wealth, but with no access to clean ground water in the suburb. residents like misleading the pad on water times for drinking water and water pump from wells for everything else. but by pumping ground water, he's like millions of other residents is actually contributing to this thinking

process of been run by last about the last but not about the main cause of land subsidence is the mass of groundwater extraction happening around your car to make a move out if they include still areas, rising sea levels also contribute to the subsidence memory. it will go off. in addition, abrasion and see water intrusion. create a more unstable land structure on the sub se, the dakota stuff. central government has set it in times to provide a pipe water system for all by 2030. this would help areas that already struggle with salt water. that crucially, it could also help this thinking process. time is of the essence. well, the government me soon start moving its capital to the island of border new most of jakarta, 11000000 residents. we will remain, but the transition won't come cheaply. it's all about the money. we have to have

the funding and then we have to develop it, developing a system, a pipe system where you have to buried on the ground in the city. there's already built like dakota, that's also a different problem altogether. the residents of water on the whole, the sooner we'll also be connected with the salt water intrusion, they have lost one battle, but they are determined not to lose the next sea water level as we continue to rise . but to cut us rapids thinking the residents say needs to be stopped. and joining me not for more context is link up for the ph. d. v cetera. at the institute division studies at university of little 9. that'll salaam. and she has looked at the issue of a subsidence that is facing jakarta, county is a public. but the government in jakarta is investing in building

a water pipe network while at the same time going ahead with construction to build a new cap. cool, bold. these extra actions seem contradictory, don't they? okay, uh, thank you for the interruptions actually. yeah. same 2 years ago. your car government has tried to build a new pipeline to the community. so they have the to distributed the fresh water to community. because we know in jakarta, most community tend to get the water from the arctic ocean route, which is very conventional. but it happens due to the condition of the car because we don't have the risk of work. so oh community, especially the poor, one needs to get the water with a very cheapest rate and a very fastest rate. right. so people assume that as the, you know, the very practical way. we now have

a high cost. but that in jakarta is government tried to alter that plan by the community because you mentioned above the contrast between the darkness government tries to build a new product line to give the fresh luck of the community. but at the same time also relocating the capital one time. that's a very you know, interesting. so individual government actually have a long term plan about relocating capital it. hello students. 1990 section. yeah, yes. good. so so just so like what does this mean? i'm just trying to understand what the painting carries does the gum when the thing gets in actually be able to save jakarta by building this pipe network to yes, so in the government wants to keep in capital, but it doesn't mean they neglected jakarta,

because you kind of feel the center of the business and training for indonesia. so even though you've never been, once we're looking to come back and then you can't go. but still they really want to me just kinda as the business center, the new york, maybe if we want to compare to america, even though it's not a apple apple. but yeah, they, we use to still catch up with dakota and relocating new capital, new governments central into the government. so yeah, maybe for some people outside in the media. this could be like a comfort to plan later. right. so in the long term, do you think that the city can actually be saved from sinking, given this depletion of the ground water level and the fact that increasing some parts of jakarta, some parts of chicata on the actual current sea level in the sea level is the

rising, is it how realistic is it but took off that we'd be saved from thinking of the long time. okay, so in my institution. so previously i worked for the indonesian government this attempt or before uh, i seen deny. so we've conducted some research related to the laptop students into the car to be on the car, especially the car, that deluxe of cit, the lens, oxygen is gain a decrease through the years. if you read the news publications, by many of the scholars, every year before, just percent of laptops, it is happening. if you asked me, well, how would you see that as a promoting one? how would you, we saved you quite a very complicated area because everything's there. we also

have um a previous chemical air and also suburban which is very dense with the population. but if government drive to build your pipeline and then the best, the using the usage of the soil, well, i think we can see the fire. but before it's time, it's not an interesting way by giving such awareness of them it is very important and greater so you're talking to jakarta will ultimately not have to be abandoned and indonesia would be able to have another capital in color month on. is that correct? yeah, yeah, so even though capital there are no kids. okay. you kinda will not be abandoned because you've got a center for the business and training for indian country like that for the very

left and leave it there for the timing. but thank you so much for putting all of that into perspective and follow you context. thanks so much. you're welcome. some man in taiwan, a breathing new life into the fix, the made cataract to often associated with a woman ruling the waters. these man uh boy, and we have enthusiasm at becoming merman, a new role that's empowering them and keeping gender scales and stereotypes in the process. it's a discipline demanding grace and athleticism under water while drawing air infrequently. and it's mostly practiced by women. and let's meet some of the male participants of what's thought to be time ones 1st ever made in contest. there were a rear breed in competition is fierce than the city minimal. just wondering in the

water without cargo, since you still need to look pretty, that is, the hardest part is not to choke and the water and move elegant in every breath exchange. when you die, even, you still need to stay pretty soon. the time of the amateur man began free diving 2 years ago, soon after his coach introduced him to a mermaid diving, a trained hair stylist. he'd like to become a professional merman. but societies perceptions are making it hard. some people have very specific ideas of what mythical creatures with fish deals should look like in real life. on the desk, just to few my moments here in other countries, i've seen many websites about made and i mean they are manly, muscular, or even gully. they have it all that he and tie want. everyone thinks only women can be made. so i'll just tell you what it. yeah,

it's definitely more difficult for males, but the underwater world is slowly but surely becoming more diverse. 5 of the 20 competitors here are male and all are taking the contest very seriously. for jim john lew performing here means the world is participating in competitions as a way to test your strength and ability. competing as a process. actually during the preparation, i felt i wasn't being recognized but still to the group i will perform as myself in front of everyone. a whole show that same and so he does. fulfilling his lifelong dream of in throwing the audience
