A prolonged dry season is impacting water availability in Gunungkidul Regency, Yogyakarta. The drought is causing wells and hundreds of ponds to dry up, particularly affecting residents in the Duwet hamlet, Purwodadi village, Tepus sub-district. This lack of water is creating difficulties for local communities accessing clean water supplies. The situation is worsening as the dry season continues with no immediate relief in sight. Local authorities are beginning to assess the extent of the damage and potential aid requirements. Residents are increasingly concerned about the long-term impacts on their livelihoods and daily lives.
