The floods phenomena in Indonesia is a big problem, that until today, the solution is has not found yet. the floods is still extending in Indonesia in area that has a little water diffusion, like in Jakarta. It almost every year the floods knock over this city. This is because there is only a little water diffusion in that metropolitan city. This problem is because the lust for life a lot people that not thinking about the effect of their lust, that brings them to the wave of death.

            The floods is the one of the natural disaster that caused by natural, and even human being. This essay will discuss about :

1.                  The causes of floods

2.                  The effect of flood

3.                  How to prevent the flood?

What is the meaning of floods? Floods is like a wave of death, where it can give so many loss for society life.  From the fact that had been happened in our country, especially in Jakarta floods is able to make loss in everything. Not only for their assets, but also their life. So no wonder, if we called it the wave of death. Sometimes, the lust for life of people make them forget about the obligation to keep their environment to stay alive and fine too. This is why we give this essay a tittle “Lust for Life or Wave of Death”

1.                  What is the causes of floods?

The reason why the flood is always knock over our country is because the less care of the society  about the environment. Like the fact that we often see, that the green forest turned into a sky scrapper buildings. and not be balanced by an action of reforestation. Those buildings are built without thinking about the water diffusion that closed and make the water is cannot be absorbed by the soil. And this is the one of thing that caused the floods.

Indonesia is a country with a lot of rivers inside it. The rivers that should be used to be the source of life, it changed into a wave of death. Why? It is because people do not take care about the river, and they often forget about the fact that river is able to be the main source of their life. They innocently throw their garbage and rubbish in to the river. And the water is constrained. This is a very sad view, if we look at the Ciliwung rivers, for example, the river is full of rubbish and it is more dirty than the rubbish bin.

Another causes of flood is the illegal logging, where the illegal logger is cutting down the tree in a forest comprehensively. Without choosing the trees selectively. If we look at the one of our forest, the bald forest is able to make the floods. Because there is no enough root to absorb the water. In fact, forest is very important to save the water in the root and make our environment fresh, but because of the human being done, forest can caused a wave of death for them.

2.                  The flood that knock over Indonesia almost every year is giving a very big loss for society. The great big of floods that knock over Indonesia made an economic problem, social problem, and another problem. The expensive house that have been built, it destroyed by the flood, the money that have been collected  time by time, it is gone in an instance. Because of the flood the side that being loss is not only the individuals but also the country is the most side that gain loss. How does it not, the road that have been repaired it have to be broken again by the flood.  Not only about the materials, but also the soul of people has gone, brought by the wave of death or flood.  A happy family could be broken, separated by this wave of death. It’s also able to change our life at once. The rich one will be homeless, the poor lost everything.

There are so many cases in Indonesia about floods. Where the society have to sleep on the road and being homeless. They attacked by the disease because the flood bring a lot of sickness. Many complain we often heard from the victim about their feeling, heartbreaking crying sound of children, there is no many things to do if all of that is happened.

3.                  How to prevent the floods?

Human cannot stop the rains to fall. That’s why the flood is look like cannot be overcame. But actually, human have given a mind to think straight and positive, to solve their life problems, and it just about how they use their mind?. Human is the most perfect creatures and so they must have a thousand ways in solving their problem. No exception the flood. We can find the way to prevent the floods. We can stop it together. Hand in hand make our country a better to live and create a better generation. So this is the steps that can be done to prevent the flood. The first is don’t you ever throw your rubbish in the river. Remember that river is your life, and it is the one of the most important life source for you. If you have a desire to throw your rubbish in the river, imagine that your life will be end soon. And then, the government should give an assertive sanction for them who throw their rubbish in the river, and hold a cleaning river program. And if it needed, give the rule breaker a fine like in Singapore. And we should continue the thousand tree planting program. Because with this program our country will be more green and the water diffusion will be more. And we also need to do 3R, reduce, reuse, recycle to decrease the rubbish in our country especially for the an-organic rubbish. And by separating both of the rubbish we will be easier to keep our environment clean.

We can make the "biopori", so the water can be absorbed into the soil and there will be no flood, because the water that should be absorbed is absorbed, and the water that should be flowing in the river, it will flow well.

So, the floods that happened in Indonesia year by year is actually can be prevented, by plant a lot of trees, and stop  throwing the rubbish in the river and stop illegal logging. We have to realize that the impact that caused by the floods is really extreme. So we have to stop it and prevent it. Start from our self, and we can make a better world to live in.
