Keywords
Sanitation - systems for removing human waste and managing rubbish and dirty water to prevent the spread of disease
Pollution - presence of harmful substances in the environment, such as in the air, water or soil, which can damage ecosystems and human health
Groundwater - water found underground in soil, sand, and rock. It is stored in aquifers and can be used as a source of water for drinking or industry
Common misconception
As a global megacity in an NEE, Jakarta is too developed to have serious problems with providing clean water and sanitation.
Despite being a global megacity, large parts of Jakarta (especially kampungs) lack piped water and sewage systems. Many people rely on groundwater, and open drains are still common in some areas.
