Indonesians should prepare for an early onset of the dry season and start conserving water, a Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) official said on Monday.
Head of BMKG Mulyono Prabowo said that the dry season would not arrive at the same time in every area in the country, but it would come more quickly this year than in previous years.
“With this type of rainfall, Java will soon enter the dry season,” he said on Monday.
Prabowo said Indonesia should implement water management, especially for the agriculture sector. He urged farmers to anticipate a limited water supply and city dwellers to start preserving the limited resource.
Previously the agency predicted the dry season would arrive in Indonesia in April, however some areas started to experience the dry season as early as February. The dry season is expected to hit many more locales this month.
