Land Subsidence Leads To Sinking Cities In Northern Java Coastal

A woman walking through the tidal floods in Simonet village, northern coast of Pekalongan city, Central Java, on June 4, 2021. Base on data from the geological Agency from the Indonesian Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resource, Pekalongan city is experiencing a land subsidence of 6 centimeters per year, which caused by the massive use of groundwater by housholds, farming, industry, and global climate change, which if not immediately mitigated, than the city is predicted to sink in 2036.
