According to the Directorate General of Water Resources of the Ministry of Public Works and People's Housing, at least 4.8 million people from 12 million population in Jakarta do not have access to clean water, because PAM Jaya as a government-owned company has difficulties in finding sources of raw water such as rivers and lakes that have been largely polluted. The lack of access to clean water has forced people to continue using groundwater that is capable of triggering land subsidence.
