BANTUL - The Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) as of this week has distributed 113,000 liters of clean water to a number of locations affected by drought due to drought in Bantul throughout 2023.

"Data for dropping clean water to locations affected by drought recorded at BPBD Bantul is currently 113,000 liters," said BPBD Bantul Disaster Management Operations Control Center (Pusdalops PB) Commander Luk Luk Firmansyah in Bantul, Friday, August 18, confiscated by Antara.

The clean water was distributed using the fourth water truck in Sriharjo Village, Bangunjiwo Village, Jatimulyo Village and Terong Village.

Firmansyah said that clean water assistance is likely to be distributed again to see the current dry potential of the dry season.

"Yes, dropping water is a temporary solution, and if you look at the potential for this year's dry season, our analysis is yes, we will continue to drop clean water," he said.

Therefore, his party as the authorized agency in disaster management is ready to help provide emergency services in the form of clean water assistance during this drought emergency response period.

BPBD Bantul always provides education and reminds the public, especially in areas affected by drought, to be frugal and wise in using water, including in using water sources together.

"Then keep the water sources that are still there and keep the water reservoirs clean, so that they are hygienic and healthy for consumption," he said.
