These interventions helped save approximately 41,252 hectares of rice fields and provided clean water to 616,033 people.In the agricultural sector, various measures were taken to keep rice fields productive amidst the threat of drought. Interventions included pumping water from rivers to rice fields, normalizing irrigation channels, constructing emergency channels, and optimizing water networks. Of the 157 rice field locations targeted, 124 have been completed.Pumping water from rivers to rice fields was a primary method, implemented at 69 locations—accounting for approximately 43.9 percent of all interventions in the agricultural sector. Meanwhile, in residential areas, the Ministry of Public Works prioritized meeting basic community needs through clean water distribution; of the 931 locations addressed, 811 have been completed. Water distribution represents the primary response measure, covering 902 locations—or approximately 96.9 percent of all drought-related interventions in residential areas.In addition, measures were taken to address the threat of forest and land fires. Interventions were carried out at 141 locations, with 137 successfully resolved through firefighting efforts. Regionally, Java accounted for the largest scope of operations, covering 728 locations.Interventions in Java also benefited 26,346 hectares of rice fields and provided clean water services to 533,604 people.
