Drought and water scarcity in Indonesia

Overview

Drought conditions, driven in some areas by the El Niño phenomenon, have caused significant water shortages across multiple Indonesian regions. In Pasangkayu, West Sulawesi, depleted groundwater reserves have left approximately 42,200 residents in 17 villages struggling with dry or turbid wells, necessitating the purchase of clean water.

In Sleman, the Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) has been actively distributing hundreds of thousands of liters of clean water to support residents and the agricultural sector. Despite recent rainfall, water sources have not yet recovered, leaving several schools and a health center in Sleman facing continued shortages. As the situation evolves, authorities have issued warnings regarding the transition to the rainy season, advising residents to prepare for potential flooding and extreme weather.
