When the rainy season ends, people in Cibening Village will have a serious problem,
they do not have enough water especially clean water during hot season.
The River crosses the village will be dry and the well or water springs
will flow less water, they use it for drink and cook only. They have to go to
other village about 2 kilometer to get clean water for bathing and washing.
Basically, Sukabumi area has a normal rain fall during rainy season,
but people in Cibening Village never collect and keep the water for the next season.
The rain water just flow down and run out when the hot season comes.
PT Goldteak has made several wells, two of them have water and will be
cemented to protect from land slide. The water are clean, for now
it can be used for trees or people in the plantation only. In the near future,
PT Goldteak will help the people to make wells so they can have their own water,
they can collect the rain water and flow it to the well or from water spring.
“The usefulness of a well is known when it dries up” (Proverb from Uganda)
