Drought disrupts water supply

Drought disrupts water supply

JAMBI, Jambi: A drought has caused the wells of local
residents to dry up and has disrupted the supply from the city's
clean water supplier company.

In the densely populated areas, people are turning to other
sources of water, such as the river mouth and swamps.

Those who usually obtain water from dams have also complained
of the situation and now must get their water from swamps more
than 50 meters from their houses.

"Swamp water is used for bathing, washing and drinking, but it
must settle first," said a local resident called Mirna, as quoted
by Antara. (pwn)
