The Indonesian Ministry of Environment and the Environmental Management Agency have initiated a project to transport water from the Pawan River across a distance of nine kilometers. The operation aims to rewet peatland areas in the region.
This intervention is designed to address the vulnerability of peatlands, which are prone to drying out and becoming susceptible to fires. By channeling river water to these areas, authorities seek to maintain moisture levels necessary for environmental stability and fire prevention.
