YOGYAKARTA: An underground river in Bribin cave in the Semanu
district in Gunungkidul is being developed into a water bank for
the local people living in the arid regency.

Spokesman for the administration Suhardono said a pump has
been installed to turn the river into a potential water source.

Suhardono said that when the capacity of the pump is improved,
water shortages faced by other districts in the regency would
gradually be overcome.

Vice President Try Sutrisno is scheduled to visit the area on
Oct. 11 to witness the project, according to Antara. (par)
