Prolonged forest and peatland fires in South Kalimantan are causing significant environmental issues. The fires have severely degraded air quality across the region, creating hazardous conditions for residents. Simultaneously, the ongoing dry weather, exacerbated by the blazes, has led to acute water shortages. The situation in South Kalimantan is impacting daily life and raising concerns about public health. Authorities are struggling to contain the fires and mitigate their effects on both air and water resources. The prolonged nature of the fires suggests a complex interplay of environmental factors and potential human activity.
