More than 200 people have stayed in one of Indonesia's fastest sinking areas, which has turned from a landscape of lush rice paddies into a network of boardwalks and canoes in an alarm ing sign of how climate change could upend coastal communities everywhere. Water has since reached five kilometres inland around Timbulsloko and the surrounding Demak region, according to Denny Nugroho Sugianto, professor at Diponegoro University.
Residents have elevated the floors of their homes by adding soil and then installing wooden decks to keep themselves dry as the floods become more severe. He says his floor can still be submerged in water during high tides, leaving him worried high waves could collapse his home. Residents have also crowdfunded a boardwalk to connect their houses and give them access to their loved ones' graves.
