Abstract
Jakarta’s growth has been so extensive that governing authorities have legislated the construction of a new capital city. Research indicates that water security in Jakarta City is impacted by inadequate infrastructure, unequal use by a growing population and poor governance. Without sustained attention to these issues, Jakarta will remain ill-prepared for present and future water challenges. The improvement of integrated water resource management (IWRM), the adoption, alignment and enactment of the New Agenda and National Action Plan principles, in addition to the improvement of education, public awareness and collaboration of all stakeholders are possible ways forward.
