Examples of English Essay on the Environment (Flood)
Flood has already been included in the agenda of the annual disaster in Indonesia. Not
only in Jakarta, but in almost all regions of Indonesia are flooded in the month of December to
February. Every year the government always try to solve the problem of flooding. But as they
had done before, flooding still exist. Even it tends to be worse from year to year. So who is
responsible to this flood disaster?The whole society is responsible for the flood. we can not just
blame the government alone. there must be cooperation between the government and the
community to support each other. The following three factors are the main causes of flooding
that has always struck Jakarta. The first is the high rainfall. Appropriate weather forecasts
delivered BMKG agencies, January and February are the peak of the rainy season. This means
that rainfall in these two months are in the highest intensity. The volume of rain water that spills
into the mainland in the end can not be accommodated in rivers, ditches, lakes and water
reservoirs in the greater Jakarta area. Green open land is increasingly narrower also cause rainfall
can not soak into the ground. Logic, if the volume of water that eventually flowing into rivers cut
through the Capital which then overflow and flood the resident and highway.
The second factor is caused by human ignorance. Build settlements and homes in
riverbanks, littering, and inattentive make green open space is a form of ignorance that finally
bring floods and other disasters. Flood is basically a disaster of our own involuntarily because of
our ignorance of the ecosystem and the environment. Settlement on the riverbanks narrows the
width of the river and makes and sedimentation of the river faster. As a result, the capacity of the
river is very limited and uncompromising water flows and inundates the settlement.
Garbage is also a major cause of flooding. The tons of garbage clogging drains, drainage,
and water gates make the water flow into the sea faltered. This blockage causes the water
overflowing. The lack of green open space in Jakarta makes water unable to seep into the
ground.
The last factor is the government’s lack of attention in the construction policy to the
environment’s capacity. Economic motivation has always been a driving force of the
construction. Settlements outside Jakarta make a massive by thousands of constructor. As a
result, the open area is narrower. It makes the rain that falls in this area is growing rapidly
flowing into the sea. Unfortunately, before reaching the sea, it firstly passes the Jakarta area.
This is evidence that the development is driven by purely economic motives often lead to
disaster. Because of this man’s greed, we must be willing when disasters come, especially floods
in the rainy season, would be a matter unsolved completion.
Both the government and society should work together and support each other in dealing
with flooding. instead of blaming each other.
