Water level drops in Jatiluhur

PURWAKARTA, West Java: Officials expect the Jatiluhur dam to
continue to be able to provide water to local rice fields despite
a severe drop in its water level.

Director of the Jatiluhur Authority Muhamad Ulama said the
water level has fallen by between eight and nine meters, but
stressed that such a reduction is considered usual during the dry
season.

The dam's capability to support irrigation will remain steady
even if the level drops by 12 meters, he said as quoted by
Antara. (par)
