The availability of clean water is also one of the government's considerations based on data from the Ministry of Public Works and Public Relations in 2016 Java experienced a severe water crisis, for example, Jabodetabek in the region has colored water availability indicators. red which means there is an absolute scarcity. Another reason that underlies the government to move the capital city is the dominance of the island of Java in terms of land conversion.
