The El Nino Phenomenon Causes Extreme Drought In Indonesia
A farmer tries to irrigate his paddy field by sucking water from puddles using a generator at a cost of IDR 100,000 (US$ 6.53) per day when the river dries up due to drought in the summer, in Cibarusah sub-district, Bekasi Regency, West Java province, on August 15, 2023. The Indonesian Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) has confirmed that the dry season may be drier and more intense than last year due to the El Nino phenomenon. The agency classifies West Java, Central Java, most of East Java, Yogyakarta, Bali and Nusa Tenggara as areas most vulnerable to extreme drought, or more than 60 days without rain.
