An abandoned boat near the intake valve of a hydro-electric plant at
Jatiluhur dam, a major power and water supply for Jakarta, in West
Java, 100 km southeast of the capital, September 4, 2003. A water
shortage on Java due to seasonal drought has already affected farmers
and Jakarta residents and is expected to disrupt power supplies in the
capital in the coming months. The water level at the reservoir was
around 79 meters on Thursday, down from the usual 94 meters.
