"Residents still really need water, still hoping to get help with water drops ," he said.
Eko admitted that some clean water assistance came from the private sector and the district head candidates (cabup).
However, it is still not enough. If there is no assistance, then the community must buy clean water for bathing, washing clothes, and other daily needs.
"Usually buying one big dam is around Rp150 thousand. In fact, some are willing to rely on water sources from neighboring villages," he said.
Head of Emergency and Logistics Section of Blora Regional Disaster Management Agency ( BPDB ) Abdul Mukhid told the press that drought is still hitting 16 sub-districts. Dropping of clean water continues to be attempted by the district government and the private sector.
