The Regent of Cianjur Regency, West Java, Herman Suherman, asked residents in all districts to be vigilant and alert for the dry season, especially anticipating drought in the agricultural and fire sectors. "Residents in a number of villages prone to drought can build water reservoirs that can be accommodated from the Village Fund, so anticipation can be done before the dry season enters this year," said Herman in Cianjur, Antara, Friday, June 2. Especially for agriculture, his party has implemented a water reservoir program built by the district and provincial governments (Pemprov), as a water stock for residents during the dry season, which BMKG informed will occur in August this year. Villages that have not prepared water reservoirs for the agricultural sector, the Regent of Cianjur asked farmers to anticipate by replacing plant models that can last during the dry season, such as rain fields after the harvest is planted with crops. "So far, the central government has provided assistance to villages through Village Funds or Village Fund allocations that can be used to build water reservoirs as an effort to anticipate the dry season," he said. Herman also asked residents to be vigilant and anticipate together forest fires, agricultural land, and settlements, which often occur every year, especially during the dry season, and ensure the installation of electrical cables in the house.

"Everyone must be vigilant and be able to anticipate before the dry season arrives, we have asked the sub-district and village heads to participate in anticipating difficulties in getting water for agricultural land," he said.
