Bogor City is one of the cities with highest rainfall in Indonesia. Ironically, it is experiencing water crisis due to the degraded catchments areas in the headwaters. The video highlights environmental degradation resulting from non ecologically-based spatial plan.

The ecosystem degradation will affect the country’s populous capital, Jakarta, to which the city rivers empty.
