SUMENEP, East Java: At least nine villages in eight districts
in Sumenep on Madura Island are beginning to feel the bite of
water shortages this dry season.

Sumenep government spokesman, Ruslan, said yesterday that the
local state-run water enterprise had begun supplying drinking
water to the stricken villages, which are located on hillsides,
for their daily consumption.

The company operates four water wagons, each with a capacity
of 4,000 liters, daily, Antara reported. (05)
