Drought in Tangerang region, Indonesia
Overview
Drought conditions in the Tangerang region of Indonesia have escalated from localized water scarcity to a formal alert status. In September 2026, drought conditions in Tangerang Selatan expanded to 30 locations, specifically impacting the Setu and Serpong districts. The dry season caused residential wells to run dry, affecting approximately 3,423 individuals. In response, local authorities and organizations like the Indonesian Red Cross distributed over 1.2 million liters of clean water and began exploring long-term solutions, such as constructing artesian wells.
By October 2026, Tangerang City was placed under ‘Awas’ (Alert) status following a meteorological drought warning from the National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB). Local disaster management officials have been directed to identify high-risk areas, monitor weather patterns, and ensure clean water availability as temperatures are forecast to reach up to 35 degrees Celsius.
