00:00The drought began to cause as many as 265 families in the villages of Pelalangan, Kalisat, Sumerpinang, Pakusari, and Andongrejo, Tempurejo, Jember, to experience a crisis of clean water.
00:17The floodwater began to shrink and smell, so it cannot be used to cook.
00:22Therefore, for the past two weeks, the BPPD of Jember distributed clean water to meet the needs of the affected people by moving a 5,000 liter tank.
00:35One of them is in the village of Sumerpinang, Pakusari.
00:38The head of the BPPD of Jember, Widodo Yulianto, on July 31, said that he distributed clean water in stages and alternately, according to the report that entered the organization of the regional device.
00:50Because in some areas it was reported that it had not rained.
00:54There are some regions that have not yet reported the need for clean water.
01:01But from our observations on the ground, the water drainage, especially in the well water, is quite deep.
01:10It means that soon they will also need clean water.
01:17For that, we have prepared or coordinated with several stakeholders.
01:23God willing, we will conduct further coordination meetings to see the ability of each stakeholder in this matter of drainage management.
01:34How long has it been?
01:36Maybe about two months.
01:38Two months, yes.
01:39Since there was a rain.
01:41Then, before there was a distribution of water, how was the people?
01:46It was far away.
01:53How is it now? Is it helped?
01:55Now it is not helped by the BPPD.
02:01The BPPD urges the people to start saving water usage at home and water sources to anticipate the impact of the long drought.
