East Java Governor Khofifah Indar Parawansa moved quickly by directly monitoring the implementation of clean water distribution in areas experiencing drought in Kunjorowesi Village, Mojokerto Regency.
"Based on information from the National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB), the 2023 dry season in East Java is expected to occur in May - September 2023. With the peak of the dry season occurring at the end of July - August 2023," said Governor Khofifah as quoted by ANTARA, Monday, June 19.
He said according to data from the East Java BPBD, the water crisis hit three villages at the foot of Gunung Penanggan, Mojokerto Regency, namely Kunjorowesi and Manduro Manggung Gajah (Ngoro District) and Duyung Village ( Trawas District).
Governor Khofifah accompanied by Mojokerto Regent Ikfina Fahmawati ensured that the process of distributing clean water using a tank car with a capacity of 4,000 liters went well.
In total, the residents affected by the clean water drought reached 7,589 people or 2,409 families.

"Alhamdulillah, today we can give greetings in the form of clean water supply. Here, the daily needs are an average of 10 tanks with a capacity of 4,000 liters, but not only in this hamlet, but also in several other hamlets. However, I saw that there have been many reservoirs from BPBD at a number of points in this village. Of course this is part of our efforts to bring the distribution of clean water closer to people's homes," he said.
Meanwhile, Mojokerto Regent Ikfina Fahmawati said the arrival of Governor Khofifah was also to jointly find solutions for Kunjorowesi residents regarding the need for clean water, especially in the dry season.
