Reduction of the Batanghari River's water discharge

Aerial photo of a settlement and a stretch of sand on the edge of the receding Batanghari River in Tanjung Pasir, Danau Teluk, Jambi, Saturday (18/7/2026). The longest river in Sumatra has begun to shrink, exposing a stretch of sand 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 in the last two months.
