So sad to see. Yogyakarta is one of my favourite regions of Indonesia. $10 buys a 5,000 litre tank and yet they're so impoverished they can't afford it. It's not truly a lack if it's at that price, it's a distribution problem.

I've been there once, back in 2002 if I remember correctly. It was quite amazing.

The following submission statement was provided by /u/thexylom:
Submission statement: It's bad in Java, Indonesia. Drought has been going on for months, and hundreds of residents have to connect plastic hoses from their homes to the only water source up to a kilometer away. Because of this, they have to crouch down and manually suck on the hose to keep the water flowing. This is devastating for residents who can't afford to buy water and subsistence farmers who rely on water to feed themselves and their neighbors.
