Millions of fish reportedly die as drought drains Indonesia’s Silugonggo River
Al Jazeera reports mass fish deaths in Central Java amid a prolonged dry spell and sharply reduced river levels.
Millions of fish have reportedly died in Indonesia’s Silugonggo River in Central Java, as a prolonged dry spell sharply reduces water levels.
Al Jazeera reported that dead fish filled parts of the river, which was described as vanishing as drought conditions continued.
The report linked the fish deaths to the dry spell and the river’s reduced levels. However, the available material does not include water testing or an expert assessment independently confirming the cause.
No precise figure was provided for the number of fish that died, and the duration of the dry spell was not specified. The extent of the river’s reduction also remains unquantified.
