        "summary": "Bantul Regency has extended its drought emergency alert through 31 December 2026, allowing its disaster agency to seek contingency funding if conditions worsen. The agency is continuing daily deliveries of clean water to affected areas and expects them to continue into early 2027, as initial rains may not yet replenish residents\u2019 wells.",
        "content": "<p>Bantul Regency Government has extended its drought emergency alert\nuntil the end of this year. The extension follows an earlier alert that\nwas in force from June to September.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCorrect, the regent has signed a decree extending the drought\nemergency alert until 31 December 2026,\u201d said Ribut Bimo Haryo Tejo,\nsecretary of the Bantul Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD), when\ncontacted by reporters on Sunday (11 October 2026).<\/p>\n<p>Ribut said the decree is set out in Regent\u2019s Decree No.\u00a0434 of 2026.\nThe extended alert enables the BPBD to apply for an unforeseen\nexpenditure budget (BTT).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf the drought spreads, additional funding will be needed and we can\naccess the BTT. But so far, the budget for water deliveries is\nsufficient,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Ribut said the BPBD was continuing to deliver clean water to several\ndrought-affected areas, particularly on the outskirts of Bantul.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWater deliveries are made every day by both the BPBD and private\nparties, including to Dlingo, Imogiri and one or two locations in\nPajangan,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He estimated that water deliveries would continue until early 2027.\nThis is a precaution in case the first rains are not enough to replenish\nresidents\u2019 wells.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat is how it tends to happen: rain has fallen, but the water in\nwells is absorbed into the ground. So water deliveries are still needed\nat the start of the rainy season,\u201d he said.<\/p>",
