As a result, 592 residents consisting of 148 families (KK) experienced a clean water crisis. Emergency and Logistics Division of the Bogor Regency Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD), Jaludin, said drought was reported since Tuesday 6 June afternoon by the Head of Curug Village. From reports received, drought occurred in Liud Village, at four RTs namely RT 02, 03, 04, 05/RW 002. Drought occurred due to the declining intensity of rain in the area, resulting in reduced source of residents' springs," said Jalaludin, Thursday, June 8.

Therefore, BPBD Bogor Regency sent 10,000 liters of clean water from PDAM Leuwiliang, using a clean water transport car to residents' water reservoirs.
