2. JAKARTA ANNUAL
FLOODING IN JANUARY
2013
Created by : Yoga Tirta Yanuar

3. INTRODUCTION
 Severe flooding is reported to have hit Jakarta
on numerous occasions in the past, including
in 1621, 1654, 1918, 1942, 1976, 1996, 2002
and 2007.
 Many parts of Jakarta were inundated
following heavy rain on January 16, 2013.
 The floods killed at least 20 people and sent at
least 33,502 fleeing their houses

4. CAUSE AND EFFECT
 An important part of the flooding problem is
caused by the fact that a substantial part of
Jakarta is low-lying. Around 24,000 ha (about 240
square km) of the main part of Jakarta is
estimated to be below sea level.
 Flooding can become severe if heavy rains
happen to coincide with high tides. When this
happens, high tides tend to push water into low-lying
areas just as the run off from rains in upland
areas such as nearby Bogor is flowing down into
the Jakarta area.

5. DURATION
 The flooding in 2013 began on Tuesday, 15 January
2013, in some parts of the city as a result of heavy
rains and waterways clogged with garbage and other
kinds of debris.
 Serious flooding began along several main
thoroughfares of Jakarta. A 30-meter-long section of
Jakarta’s West Flood Canal dike on Jalan Johannes
Latuharhary in Menteng collapsed.
 This breach quickly caused flooding in nearby
areas. Military personnel, the Jakarta public works
agency, and public order officers joined forces to
quickly replace the collapsed dike section with a
temporary retaining wall made of rocks and sandbags.
Workers finished rebuilding a section of a canal dike.

leading to it were reportedly blocked.
 The flooding disrupted train services from
Manggarai Station in South Jakarta to Tanah
Abang Station in Central Jakarta.
 Most commuter trains and buses were
suspended, and roads were difficult to access.
 Flooding was reported at the presidential palace,
forcing the postponement of a meeting between
President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and his
visiting Argentine counterpart, Cristina Fernandez
