Up one levelFestival Mata Air
(Salatiga, Central Java, Indonesia, from
2007-09-01 06:40 to
2007-09-08 06:40)
The city of Salatiga, situated in the mountains of Central Java, is recognized by the Indonesian government as a “water catchment” area for the surrounding districts. Despite this, Salatiga is in a perturbing condition. Water levels at natural springs have dramatically reduced, some have dried up all together. Areas necessary for water catchments have become factories or housing estates, with waste products and pollution at alarming levels. Deforestation occurs without consideration of the effects to water and the environment. If we continue to allow this to occur without any action to rectify the situation, in a short time it will be too late.
