Decrease in the water discharge of the Batanghari River

Aerial photo of settlements and sand stretches on the banks of the receding Batanghari River at Tanjung Pasir, Danau Teluk, Jambi, Saturday (18/7/2026). The longest river in Sumatra has begun to shrink, revealing sand expanses covering more than five hectares at several points including Jambi City, Muaro Jambi Regency, and Batang Hari due to the dry season that has occurred over the past two months.
