Water crisis in West Java

West Java is having a water crisis. It is not just limited access to clean water but also to sources of good quality water. “This is the consequence we have when the government is reluctant to invest in the water source,” said environmentalist of Forestry and Environmental Observation Board, Tatar Sunda, Mubiar, in Bandung yesterday. However, the government claimed that they have provided clean water through a water management system since 2003. It is being carried out in Bekasi, Indramayu, and Karawang. “We also have it in Subang and Cirebon,” said Aat Taryana from city planning department for West Java.
