The main focus is directed at securing the supply of\nclean water for the community and the availability of water for the\nagricultural sector.<\/p>\n<p>Bandung Bupati, Dadang Supriatna, has instructively asked the\nregional water company Perumda Air Minum Tirta Raharja to immediately\nmap areas that have a high risk of experiencing clean water shortages.\nThis step is taken as an early detection effort so that the water crisis\ndoes not spread when the peak of the dry season arrives.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe must be ready from now. Areas that have the potential to be\naffected must be mapped and solutions found so that the community\u2019s\nclean water needs remain fulfilled,\u201d stressed Dadang Supriatna on\nTuesday (23\/6).<\/p>\n<p>Based on the provisional mapping results, a number of service areas\nfor the Drinking Water Supply System (SPAM) are predicted to be affected\nif the duration of the dry season lasts longer than normal estimates.\nThis condition has the potential to affect the distribution of clean\nwater to thousands of customers under the auspices of Perumda Tirta\nRaharja.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to focusing on drinking water, the Bupati also emphasised\nthe importance of cross-sectoral collaboration. He instructed a number\nof relevant agencies to strengthen coordination. This coordination aims\nto maintain the availability of irrigation water for residents\u2019\nagricultural land. Dadang hopes that with integrated anticipation\nmeasures from an early stage, the negative impact of El Ni\u00f1o on food\nsecurity and the basic needs of the community in Bandung Regency can be\nsignificantly minimised.<\/p>",
