Indonesia - El Nino causes droughts

(7 Mar 1998) T/I: 11:02:35 Dry weather conditions, brought on by the El Nino phenomenon, are wreaking havoc on the lives of the people of Samarinda in East Kalimantan, Indonesia. There has been no rain since January and the Mahakam River, an important source of water for Samarinda and its inhabitants, is now lower than sea level and sea water has now flowed into the murky river. Consequently, the Mahakam River, which runs through the city, is now providing water that is unfit for human consumption. Yet a pumping station continues to get its supply from the river and many fear this will affect the health of those who use it.
