Jakarta – Coordination of Minister of Infrastructure and Regional Development, Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono (AHY), reviewed the clean water supply and agricultural irrigation project in Kelor Village, Gunungkidul Regency on Wednesday (8/10). This project is an attempt to support self -sufficiency of food and the availability of clean water in challenging areas. “We have seen the groundwater pump directly that can flow about 40 liters per second. This water is clean and able to increase the plant index of two to three crops a year. Agricultural productivity is increasing, the welfare of farmers is also increasing,” Ahy said in a written statement (9/10/2025). Apart from agricultural irrigation, about 10 liters per second of the water supply is also used for residents’ domestic needs.
