The performance

The flood controllers will make a band and it will tell the audience about our first inquiry(what causes flood in Jakarta). I can show my talent by playing guitar because I have learn guitar for 3 years. The purpose of doing this is to show that we care about the city that are flooded.Our performance is only about 5 minutes long. We need a Drum and some mikes.

Concepts

The 2 concepts that our group choose were responsibility and connection. Our group choose responsibility because we need to be responsible for the causes of flood. We also choose connection because flood connects to many things, one of them is sicknisses.

My ExhiBitIon HomEwoRk

Title: It's our world, we are responsible for it.

Inquiry Into:
1. What causes flood in Jakarta?
2. Human factor of the causes of flood.
3. Specific solutions to address flooding in the city.

Central Idea:
- We are responsible for determining causes of changes in our natural environment.

Group Slogan: flood or no flood, that's the question.

Informations about my inquiry into:
Flood is often caused by rising sea levels. But there are many more. Some of the causes of flood is because of lakes that overflows. Worse floods happen because of a river overflow. Also it is because soil could not absorb water anymore. Sometimes big rains and melted icebergs combine and make big floods. Floods happens also because of broken drain age system. Now there is also a solution that prevents flood. The name of the system is biopore system. It is like drainage system but it is made by making holes with a drill. But this drill is made in Bogor IPB center. Every village is given 7 drills to make holes in their villages. Actually it is holed in each house's backyard. These biopore systems work by absorb water and filter it until the next drought comes the head of village will drill it and take the water. In Tangerang( some where in jakarta) poor drain age system because instead of making a good drain age system intead they are making buildings, roads and many more. Also Tangerang has flood almost everytime is because of heavy rain, heavy rain goes to thelake or river and they over flow . So prevent flood and save other people.
