Planning that considers the water resources carrying capacity (WRCC) is essential for achieving a sustainable city. To date, no research has explored the WRCC in commercial districts, even though commercial districts play a pivotal role in a city’s economic growth. This study aims to investigate the dynamics of the WRCC in a commercial area of the city and takes the Kebayoran Baru commercial area in South Jakarta as a case study to represent the concentration of commercial activities. A qualitative approach with system thinking is used to scrutinize the analysis. The results show that building growth in the case study area reflects water demand growth more than does population development in the area. In addition, commercial activities in the case study rely heavily on the available clean water supply from groundwater because the piped water supply capacity cannot keep up with developments in the water demand. The relationship between WRCC factors in the case study illustrates the growth and underinvestment (G & U) archetype. Delays in groundwater vulnerability awareness and investment in clean water supply distribution have led to greater groundwater vulnerability. Consequently, policies to increase the distribution capacity of the clean water supply have been carried out in conjunction with groundwater conservation efforts and supervised extraction at the local level. Innovative policies have been essential in economically strategic regions for enhancing the distribution of clean water capacity by exploring mechanisms to use high local tax revenue in this area or by encouraging businesses to implement rainwater or stormwater harvesting. |
