communities in the textile/garment industry areas within Jakarta, Tangerang
City, Bandung Regency and West Bandung Regency. From March to April 2014, the
DRIVE-C Programme facilitated a community-based Vulnerability and Capacity
Assessment (VCA) in those four areas. The assessment found that all of the
surface water sources such as river, shallow wells and ponds had contamination
from industrial wastewater.
