reaches 9.71 million tonnes and places the province as the highest rice producing area nationally East Java has become the highest national rice producer the area of rice harvest fields in Bojonegoro is much larger than in Ngawi Ngawi's rice production is higher than Bojonegoro's President Joko Widodo acknowledged Ngawi's advantage in rice production during the National 1 Million Hectares Rice Harvest Festival in March 2023 When compared with the rice center areas in West Java rice production in Ngawi in 2023 will still be below the national rice barns such as Indramayu (819,872 tonnes) and

Lawu and is flanked by two rivers The activity of small rice milling in Ngawi Ngawi is one of the rice granaries in East Java and nationally Apart from the Bengawan Solo and Bengawan Madiun rivers irrigation in Ngawi is also greatly assisted by the existence of bore wells and pumps built by farmers around the rice fields farmers in his area do not expect much from the government assistance especially in fulfilling the irrigation needs of their rice fields they build their own wells and pumps (sibel) for a cost of IDR 25 million for a depth of 40 meters "Many independent farmers are never appreciated for their results and are looked down upon by the government," he said The depth of wells in each rice field varies depending on the soil condition and the availability of water after drilling the depth can be more than 40 meters to obtain water Wells with such depths can be used to irrigate one hectare of rice fields every day Also read: The Great Rice Harvest is Over, Rice Prices Have the Potential to Rise Again water from irrigation rivers can only irrigate fields alternately which is allotted once a week for one hour water should be irrigated three times a week the intensity of irrigating the fields increases to every day Self-sufficient Farming Power in Ngawi Regency The presence of wells greatly helps farmers to be able to do three rice plantings not all farmers are able to build wells and pumps Those who cannot usually share their neighbor's well by paying a fee of Rp 4,000 per hour for electricity usage a lecturer in the Department of Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering at Gadjah Mada University said that the construction of irrigation wells in Ngawi and several areas in East Java could serve as an example to be implemented in other regions Considering that water is an important component in the process of rice cultivation the high cost of well construction has become a barrier for many farmers Bayu suggested that the wells be built together using village funds or farmer groups "The rice field doesn't always have to be flooded This is an example of environmentally friendly farming," said Bayu President Joko Widodo carried out a big harvest in Kartoharjo Village Support from local government pushing for sustainable and environmentally friendly agriculture is a contributing factor to rice productivity some farmers in Ngawi have reduced their use of chemical fertilizers and instead have increased the use of organic fertilizers in their rice fields They make their own organic fertilizer from a mixture of materials including leftover food scraps from the kitchen rice grown with minimal use of chemical fertilizers is believed to have a much better taste Kompas stopped by a restaurant or rice stall to have a meal believes that rice crops cultivated using environmentally-friendly fertilizers result in a much tastier and healthier rice The cost of buying factory-made chemical fertilizers is much more expensive than making natural fertilizers yourself He gave an example of production costs reaching 15 million per hectare but the use of environmentally friendly fertilizers can save up to IDR 3 million to IDR 5 million Also read: HET Rice and Rice Milling The Head of the Agriculture and Food Resilience Agency of East Java said that Ngawi has been named as the area that cares for food resilience in 2023 by

State-owned fertilizer producer Pupuk Indonesia recently said that its warehouse in Ngawi had enough space to store the subsidized fertilizers farmers in East Java will get 1.88 million tons of subsidized fertilizers Pupuk Indonesia said that its warehouses in the province would be able to store the fertilizers its Line III Sidokerto Warehouse in East Java can store up to 10,750 tons Pupuk Indonesia also has another storage in Ngawi namely the Paron Line III Warehouse which can hold up to 10,000 tons of fertilizers the general manager of Region 2 at Pupuk Indonesia said that these two warehouses were ready to store the subsidized fertilizers for the Ngawi area and parts of East Java both incoming and outgoing fertilizer stocks from this warehouse runs smoothly without a hitch," Fickry was quoted as saying in a recent press statement the fertilizer supply in Ngawi reached 3,400 tons of urea There were 5,600 tons of NPK fertilizers, a type of fertilizer that mainly encompasses nitrogen Last but not least are 430 tons of organic fertilizers They are all in the two aforementioned warehouses The stock in Ngawi is also threefold the minimum threshold set by the government Ngawi is one of the rice-producing centers in East Java thus making the availability of subsidized fertilizers in the area important to its production The Sidokerto Line III Warehouse had 5,576 tons of subsidized fertilizers as of Jan Ngawi is getting 79,402 tons of subsidized fertilizers this year As many as 11 official distributors and 168 retail kiosks will distribute these fertilizers to the farmers Pupuk Indonesia has also adopted a digital system in its distribution to make sure that the fertilizers reach the farmers' hands-on time and in the right amount we strive to ensure that the entire distribution chain of subsidized fertilizer to the farmers is right on target without any misuse So everything is controlled by a system and apps that are integrated with each other," Fickry said UGM’s Community Service Program (KKN-PPM) students are dedicated to enhancing community awareness of clean water quality One method involves mapping the positions of wells and assessing water facilities in Majasem Village This endeavor aims to aid the community in accessing clean water and foster awareness about preserving water resources This initiative was spearheaded by Novira Riski Herdian (Mathematics and Natural Sciences) Tiara Indah Pratiwi (Social and Political Sciences) Putu Kuncoro Jati (Mathematics and Natural Sciences) and Hafidh Nurdiansyah (Vocational College) They meticulously mapped the well locations by physically visiting and documenting each hamlet in Majasem Village Data regarding the wells were sourced from archived records provided by the Majasem Village office These records detailed the approximate locations of each available well field surveys were conducted at the close of January 2024 to gather coordinate data by visiting the precise well locations Novira Herdian disclosed that the survey findings identified 22 wells in Majasem Village with an average depth of 120 meters serving agricultural purposes and providing clean water for daily needs The coordinate points obtained were input into a map delineating the administrative boundaries of Majasem Village utilizing the ArcGIS 10.8 application Symbolization and layouting were then performed as the final stages in the mapping process “These endeavors aim to generate a map depicting the distribution of groundwater wells in Majasem Village,” she elucidated UGM KKN-PPM students from Kelana Kendal also conducted thorough inspections of water facilities encompassing assessments of well conditions and water quality and surveys of well users Water quality checks were conducted by obtaining samples from household to household with five samples from drinking water wells taken three times each The samples were subjected to analysis employing a water meter measuring parameters such as ambient temperature The inspection results were subsequently recommended to the village government for further action This initiative garnered positive responses from the community and the internal Kelana Kendal team She underscored the significance of mapping well locations and inspecting water facilities as pivotal steps in ensuring equitable and safe access to clean water for the community “This initiative underscores the sensitivity and commitment of UGM KKN-PPM students to enhancing community welfare and safeguarding public health,” she affirmed Atus Syahbudin lauded the students’ efforts in mitigating the requisite factors Given the scarcity of wells in Majasem Village and their substantial depth suggesting the village’s susceptibility to drought Syahbudin emphasized the importance of this undertaking Syahbudin highlighted Majasem Village’s vulnerability to drought underscored by the necessity to drill wells to considerable depths and the absence of wells in some residential areas Syahbudin expressed hope that this activity would benefit the community by furnishing information regarding the condition and distribution of water sources in their vicinity would facilitate community access to available clean water sources enabling more effective management and utilization for daily needs Please contact us for any problem with SIMASTER (Direktorat Teknologi

penanggulangan bencana dalam rencana pembangunan jangka menengah daerah (RPJMD) Demikian diungkapkan perwakilan Asosiasi Pemerintah Kabupaten Seluruh Indonesia (Apkasi) Budi Sulistyono di Jakarta perencanaan pembangunan sensitif risiko iklim dan bencana menjadi kunci agar masyarakat lebih siap pemerintahan harus saling terkoneksi agar bersama-sama menghadapi perubahan iklim di daerah pimpinan daerah harus memperlihatkan kepanikan Musim ini bisa meluluhlantakkan semua bangunan melalui Badan Perencanaan Pembangunan Daerah (Bappeda) semua harus disiapkan maupun pencegahan bencana ke depan,” katanya semua daratan yang memungkinkan tangkapan air harus tertanami sempurna pemerintah daerah harus bisa mengantisipasi musim tak menentu dampak perubahan iklim Tanggap darurat di desa-desa kita sudah ada Harus munculkan tanggap darurat solidaritas dan gotong royong masyarakat belum semua pemerintah kabupaten/kota memeprsiapkan kemungkinan-kemungkinan terburuk dari bencana alam serta dampak perubahan iklim Sosialisasi terus dilakukan baik dari kementerian Ngawi sudah tanggap siaga menghadapi dampak perubahan iklim dan bencana dalam menghadapi itu tak bisa berjalan sendirian Ngawi melakukan pendidikan terhadap masyarakat soal tanggap darurat bencana pelatihan ke kelompok-kelompok tanggap darurat di setiap desa rawan bencana seperti perahu-perahu karet harus berfungsi sempurna Semua Puskesmas harus mempersiapkan apa yang diperlukan harapannya dialokasikan anggaran dan sumber daya manusia,” katanya perencanaan pembangunan harus mengacu upaya penanganan bencana setidaknya harus mengalokasikan 25-30% untuk terbuka hijau kini masih ada ego sektroral dan rivalitas di daerah “Bagaimana menarik investor sebanyak-banyaknya di daerah dibiarkan saja asal investor masuk,” katanya harus ada keseragaman dan konsiten dalam menjalankan aturan tata ruang masih banyak daerah ingin investor masuk dan menuruti mereka Bahkan investor diberikan kebebasan dimana tempat suka,” katanya tak ada satupun kabupaten/kota bebas ancaman bencana dana merespon bencana tahun sebelumnya mencapai 10% dari APBN menunjukkan bencana rentang 2004-2013 menyebabkan kerugian Rp162,8 triliun “Penting bagi pemerintah kabupaten sadar dan merencanakan pembangunan agar risiko bencana di daerah dapat dikurangi.” Dengan berbagai risiko iklim dn kerentanan di Indonesia sudah saatnya pemerintah daerah bertindak cepat menyusun rencana pembangunan berkelanjutan dengan memprioritaskan sektor-sektor paling rawan terdampak perubahan iklim harus ada penilaian dan kajian kerentanan lebih lengkap dan komprehensif rencana tata ruang harus memperhitungkan kerawanan daerah dan mengubah perspektif serta praktik bisnis biasa,” katanya juga mendorong peningkatan kapasitas daerah agar bisa menghubungkan antara pembangunan berkelanjutan perubahan iklim dan pengurangan risiko bencana.“Membangun kabupatan kota tangguh bencana adalah idaman kita.” Dirjen Pengendalian Perubahan Iklim Kementerian Lingkungan Hidup dan Kehutanan saat ini perlu mempercepat implementasi mencapai target Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC)) Strategi adaptasi dan mitigasi perubahan iklim tak dapat dipisahkan dari perencanaan pembangunan daerah ”Target-target perjanjian dan komitmen internasional dan nasional harus dielaborasi ke setiap sektor dan daerah Pentingnya peningkatan peran daerah dalam menghadapi perubahan iklim juga dikatakan Kasubdit Pengendalian Lingkungan Hidup Kementerian Dalam Negeri pengarusutamaan perubahan iklim dalam pembangunan daerah masih mengalami beberapa kendala pemerintah daerah masih bingung menentukan program mitigasi atau adaptasi perubahan iklim Perlu ada kelembagaan kuat dengan tugas wewenang dan pendanaan dalam APBD,” katanya dalam diskusi di Jakarta,Senin (21/11/16) UU No 23 tahun 2014 tentang Pemerintah Daerah dilarang menyusun kegiatan tanpa norma standar prosedur dan kriteria (NSPK) dan kajian lingkungan hidup strategis (KLHS) sebagai pedoman Banyak kepala daerah agak hati-hati (mengalokasikan dana) karena banyak kepala daerah yang bermasalah dengan program dari pusat semestinya pemerintah daerah menginventarisasi sektor dan wilayah rentan dampak perubahan iklim pemda bisa menyusun strategi adaptasi perubahan iklim berdasarkan kajian kerentanan dan mengintegrasikan ke penyusunan rencana pembangunan daerah disusun melibatkan dinas teknis terkait dan sesuai prioritas pembangunan daerah “Berdasarkan kemampuan APBD dan masyarakat,” katanya Erik Armundito dari Direktorat Lingkungan Hidup Bappenas rencana aksi nasional adaptasi perubahan iklim (RAN API) merupakan dokumen yang menyediakan arahan aksi adaptasi lintas sektor untuk jangka pendek berbagai bencana perubahan iklim atau hidrometeorologi selama 2000-2010 menyebabkan 4.936 orang meninggal dan hilang ratusan ribu rumah rusak dan lebih 2,5 rumah terendam banjir pemerintah telah memasukkan perubahan iklim sebagai program lintas bidang dengan target menurunkan emisi dari lima sektor prioritas yakni kehutanan dan lahan gambut Ia juga bertujuan meningkatkan ketahanan masyarakat terhadap perubahan iklim pemerintah menunjuk 15 daerah percontohan yakni Bali Daerah ini dipilih karena dinilai sudah punya kajian kerentanan daerah Ada adaptasi yang sudah dan sedang bejalan baik ada pokja perubahan iklim daerah yang sesuai RAN API mengatakan dokumen RAN API yang terbit 2014 dalam tahap persiapan implementasi di daerah dan efektivitas serta efisiensi implementasi daerah bisa mengacu dokumen RAN API yang ada dan berkonsultasi dengan Bappenas sedang membangun sistem untuk mengetahui sejauh apa implementasi dokumen ini di daerah “Hampir semua daerah sudah memasukkan ini dalam RPJMD Implementasi kita belum lihat karena sistem sedang dibangun,” katanya Implementasi tak harus dengan program baru daerah mengsinkronkan kegiatan ada dan memiliki muatan adaptasi perubahan iklim Yulita dari Direktorat Kesehatan Lingkungan Kementerian Kesehatan tak punya indikator khusus adaptasi perubahan iklim dalam Permenkes 2011 tentang strategi adaptasi perubahan iklim dan Permenkes 2012 tentang identifikasi faktor risiko adaptasi perubahan iklim.” terpenting kesepahaman sama di level nasional tentang apa adaptasi dan mitigasi pemda tak hanya menumpukkan masalah pada Dinas Pekerjaan Umum juga Dinas Pendidikan dengan pendidikan

It was thought that the high water usage had been campers refilling their campervan tanks "[The tank] is also badly affected by frequent inflows from ground water The water table is only about 300mm below ground level so the solids tank floods almost constantly." The estimated cost to build a new system that could cope with the toilets' high usage would be around $40,000 Ms McNaught recommended in her report to withdraw the toilets from service and replace them with a two cubicle self-contained dry vault toilet with holding tank This would leave the single toilet inside the fire station building on the septic tank The new toilets could be installed and completed before the end of January both because it can be completed in time for the main part of summer 2015/16 and because the ongoing costs will be limited to annual pumping without additional water supply costs." The self contained dry vault toilets would be the same model as a single one which is being manufactured for north Tora This is expected to cost $19,000 and was on track to be installed in time for Christmas A pilot's flight path spelled 'I love you' in the sky over Auckland and Warkworth The police Covid checkpoints on Auckland's southern border Ngawi Westrupp smuggled meth through A drug dealer used a sick child’s medical pass to get through Auckland boundary checkpoints during the Covid-era lockdown period as he moved wholesale amounts of methamphetamine to Hawke’s Bay Auckland spent more than 100 days in lockdown During that lockdown, in late November and early December 2021, Ngawi Hokianga Anthony Westrupp, now 44, was in Auckland with $100,000 from the Wairoa Mongrel Mob According to a Crown summary of facts filed in the Napier District Court Westrupp was able to get through Covid checkpoints because one of his children was undergoing chemotherapy treatment But he did not know police had placed a listening device in the home of a Mongrel Mob member where drug deals were being discussed One mobster was overheard saying he was waiting for an associate who had managed to get into Auckland despite Covid restrictions Westrupp’s phone records showed that he was in Auckland between November 30 and December 4 CCTV footage showed his Hyundai Santa Fe vehicle was being driven around Auckland suburbs police intercepted a phone call between Westrupp and his associate in which they arranged a meeting in Taradale CCTV footage from nearby businesses showed the Hyundai and a black Ford Ranger belonging to the associate parked side-by-side at the carpark rendezvous Westrupp got out of his vehicle and sat in the passenger seat of the Ford the associate’s phone records show him contacting customers to let them know he had methamphetamine for sale The Crown summary said Westrupp supplied at least 400g of the drug were on their way back from another trip to Auckland late in the evening on December 29 2021 when they were stopped by police at Eskdale Police had a warrant to search the vehicle and found a backpack Westrupp told them they would find meth in it Police also found another bag containing electronic scales Westrupp appeared in the Napier District Court on Friday for sentencing for possessing and supplying methamphetamine The summary of facts said Westrupp had supplied one associate with meth and had been found in possession of what he believed was meth He had also sought to obtain another kilogram from Port Waikato even though Judge Bridget Mackintosh acknowledged he had made “good efforts and good progress” in a residential rehabilitation programme while on electronically monitored bail Judge Mackintosh said Westrupp’s life now was very different from when he was arrested by police two years ago a patched member of the Mongrel Mob’s “Mongrelizm” chapter has had no contact with other gang members in the last two years other than those coming through the rehabilitation programme Judge Mackintosh said Westrupp’s crimes amounted to “very serious offending” and the Crown had argued that the end sentence would not come below the threshold of two years in jail She gave Westrupp sentencing discounts for his guilty plea his rehabilitation efforts and the time spent on electronically monitored bail but this still resulted in a three-year prison term Ric Stevens spent many years working for the former New Zealand Press Association news agency including as a political reporter at Parliament before holding senior positions at various daily newspapers He joined NZME’s Open Justice team in 2022 and is based in Hawke’s Bay His writing in the crime and justice sphere is informed by four years of front-line experience as a probation officer There's been a huge influx of tourists to the North Island's remote southern coast recently Cape Palliser is the southernmost part of the North Island - a two-and-a-half-hour drive from Wellington over the Rimutaka Hill and along sometimes twisting The nearest settlement is the tiny fishing village of Ngawi "I wouldn't mind betting that in the last 12 months that there's been an increase of at least 30 to 40 percent in tourists People come to see seal pups frolicking in rock pools and their parents lumbering over rocks and sunbathing nearby Tourists stop to photograph bulldozers launching and landing crayfishing boats and to climb the steps to the striking Cape Palliser lighthouse "I went past here (the lighthouse) last week actually and I counted 42 people going up the steps and I came back from my walk and I still counted 42 and I don't think it was the same (group)."
