        "summary": "A prolonged dry season has triggered a clean water crisis in the Cineam and Bojonggambir subdistricts of Tasikmalaya, West Java, with many wells drying up. Residents are now forced to rely on old wells, mountain springs, or purchase expensive refillable water gallons for their daily needs. Local officials warn the situation will worsen if no rain falls within the next month, threatening thousands of households in highland areas.",
        "content": "<p>A prolonged dry season over recent months has caused clean water\nsupplies for residents in Cineam and Bojonggambir subdistricts,\nTasikmalaya Regency, West Java, to dwindle. The drought has forced\nresidents in Mekarjaya and Margamulya villages, Cineam, to fetch water\nfrom old wells and Mount Cigalagah. Ambu Apong, 60, a Margamulya\nresident, said the current dry season has caused many wells to shrink,\nwith some families relying on old wells and Mount Cigalagah. The drought\nhas persisted for two months without rain, making it increasingly\ndifficult for the community to access clean water. \u201cThe dry season has\nforced her family to buy refillable gallons priced at Rp10,000 each for\ndrinking and cooking, using up four gallons every week. Clean water\nconditions in her area are under threat as well water recedes, with\nseveral households using old wells and seeking water from Mount\nCigalagah,\u201d Ambu Apong said on Monday (22\/6\/2026). According to Ambu,\nsome families in Mekarjaya and Margamulya villages have long struggled\nwith clean water access, as wells 20 to 25 metres deep have begun to\nshrink and others have dried up. For their clean water needs, some\nresidents only use their neighbours\u2019 wells, while others collect water\nfrom Mount Cigalagah. \u201cWater from Mount Cigalagah is still flowing,\nalbeit in small quantities, and residents\u2019 wells are partially shrinking\nduring the dry season. However, residents of Mekarjaya and Margamulya\nmust return to the land movement site because clean water is still\navailable there,\u201d she said. Meanwhile, Bojongkapol Village Head Nanang\nRohmansyah stated that the current prolonged dry season is threatening\nhis residents with a clean water crisis, as several wells have already\nbegun to shrink. He warned that the drought will spread further if no\nrain falls within a month, making it difficult for residents to find\nclean water. \u201cClean water is still available in some residents\u2019 wells,\nthough not at maximum capacity. If there is no rain for a full month, a\nwater crisis is likely because the location is in a highland area.\nResidents threatened by a water crisis are in Pedangkamulyan, Girimukti,\nKertanegla, Bojongkapol, Cempakasari, and Wandasari villages in\nBojonggambir Subdistrict,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>",
