The landsubsidence dataset before 2005 and iron concentrations in groundwater in 1989 are also involved in this study.

Results: Township-specific HCC mortality rates are higher in southwestern coastal townships where serious landsubsidence and higher township-specific concentrations of iron in groundwater are present.

Both geographical information systems and Pearson correlation coefficients were used to analyze the relationship between HCC mortality rates, landsubsidence, and iron concentrations in groundwater.

Here, landsubsidence will combine with global sea level rise to create very high rates of what is known as "local, relative sea level rise."

Coenen said stopping landsubsidence is important but could take 15 to 20 years, meaning Jakarta should work on flood prevention at the same time.
