        "summary": "The Gunungkidul Regency Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) has allocated Rp 346 million for its 2026 water dropping programme, an increase from last year's Rp 300 million, but the funds are expected to run out by mid-September. The budget covers approximately 800 tanks of clean water, of which 160 have already been distributed to several sub-districts. Once the allocation is exhausted, the agency plans to access the regional unexpected expenditure fund to continue providing relief to drought-affected communities.",
        "content": "<p>The Gunungkidul Regency Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) has\nbudgeted hundreds of millions of rupiah, equivalent to hundreds of tanks\nof clean water, for its water dropping programme this year. However, the\nallocation is predicted to last only until September 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Head of BPBD Gunungkidul, Purwono, stated that this year\u2019s water\ndropping budget amounts to Rp 346 million, an increase from last year\u2019s\nRp 300 million. \u201cThe Rp 346 million is equivalent to 800 tanks of clean\nwater,\u201d he said when contacted by detikJogja on Thursday\n(30\/7\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>Purwono added that BPBD has already distributed water to the\nsub-districts of Rongkop, Tepus, Wonosari, Panggang, and Saptosari,\nmeaning the initial allocation of 800 tanks has been reduced. \u201cAs of\ntoday, 160 tanks of clean water have been distributed from the 800-tank\nallocation,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>However, Purwono revealed that the budget is likely to last only\nanother two months, given BPBD\u2019s limited funding. \u201cIt is estimated (the\nwater dropping budget will last) until mid-September,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding the steps BPBD Gunungkidul will take once the water\ndropping budget is exhausted, Purwono confirmed that preparations have\nbeen made. The agency plans to access the regional unexpected\nexpenditure fund (BTT). \u201cSo, before the budget runs out, we will prepare\na proposal for BTT funds for water dropping,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Purwono explained that communities genuinely in need of clean water\ncan submit a request for water dropping to BPBD Gunungkidul. A village\nhead can submit a written request to the Head of BPBD Gunungkidul. \u201cThe\nrequest letter should contain details of the needs, location, number of\naffected families, and number of affected individuals. The letter must\nalso be acknowledged by the sub-district head,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The request letter can initially be submitted via WhatsApp or\ntelephone to BPBD Gunungkidul at the number 0274-394091. Once the\nrequest is received, BPBD officers will conduct an assessment at the\ndrought-affected location. \u201cThe assessment results are then reported to\nthe Head of BPBD. If the report is verified as valid, the water dropping\nprocess will proceed immediately,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>",
