Water flows from the Senjoyo water spring in Tegalwaton village, Semarang regency, Central Java, on Monday (19/3). The spring has a constant flow and the flow has increased to 300 liters per second in the last five years. Water reserves have increased following the construction of water catchment areas along the villages further upstream and provide residents with a water supply.

Patemon village in Semarang regency, Central Java, has successfully dispelled the myth that water is difficult to find by issuing the obligation to construct absorbing wells. The formerly dried out village now has an abundant water supply thanks to the absorbing wells.

Since ancient times, residents in Patemon village, located in Tengaran subdistrict, Semarang regency, had difficulties in finding water. Even though a deep well was made, they could not find adequate water in the well.
