Sejak memasuki bulan Agustus, sebagian wilayah desa yang terdiri dari 170 KK sudah ini mengalami kekurangan air bersih karena sumur-sumur sudah mengering. Semakin panjang kemarau maka akan semakin banyak warga mengalami kekeringan.
Bekerjasama dengan kepala kadus 2 Sugadi dan perangkat desa Karang Salam, Rumah Zakat dan KitaBisa.com mendistribusikan air bersih ke kawasan penduduk yang mengalami kekeringan. Dilaksanakan pada hari Selasa, (04/09) dengan menggunakan armada tangki dari BPBD kabupaten Banjarnegara dan air dari PDAM Kaliwinasuh Banjarnegara.

Rico / Lailatul Istikhomah[:en]BANJARNEGARA. (04/09) The long drought experienced by the Banjarnegara district area has caused many villages to experience drought. The flow of water in the rivers decreases drastically. The main causes of the decrease in water debit in rivers and in community wells are due to reduced soil absorption in water due to the scarcity of trees. The gardens which were originally dense with many crops now have turned into housing and industrial places.
Karang Salam is one of the villages in the Susukan sub-district of Banjarnegara district, which every time there is a long dry season will experience drought. Since entering August, some rural areas consisting of 170 households have experienced a lack of clean water because the wells have dried up. The longer the dry season, the more people will experience drought.
In collaboration with the head of kadus 2 Sugadi and the village of Karang Salam, Rumah Zakat and KitaBisa.com distributed clean water to the drought affected areas. It was conducted on Tuesday (04/09) by using a tank fleet from BPBD Banjarnegara District and water from the Kaliwinasuh PDAM Banjarnegara.
