Forest and land fires have spread almost throughout the districts and cities in Central Kalimantan. Data from the Central Kalimantan Disaster Mitigation and Fire Department shows that in the last 24 hours, there have been 47 forest and land fires with a total of 97 hectares of land burned. During 2023, there were 1,485 fires recorded, covering an area of 4,618 hectares.
In addition to the dry ditch, Martogi continued, during the wetting process, his team did not find any water wells at the site."Moreover, access to the location is difficult, tanker trucks carrying water cannot enter, so the movement of personnel in the field is also limited," said Martogi when contacted from Palangkaraya on Thursday .
As a result of the 2015 fire, the government, through the Peatland and Mangrove Restoration Agency , began building irrigation infrastructure., in the 2017-2022 period, BRGM facilitated the construction of 7,785 canal blocks and 14,087 drilled wells. "The construction of a well at the burnt location can be built according to the condition. Building a well also requires a water source," stated Davit.
