Aerial of flooding river discharging eroded soil, silt and other sediments into the Java Sea
An aerial view of a flooding river discharging eroded soil, silt and other sediments into the Java Sea, north coast of Java Island, Indonesia. There are more than four main river channels sending dark brown plumes of suspended sediments into the Java Sea. Mixing of the waters creates an oil-painting effect as the brown sediment-laden terrestrial waters mix with the aqua blue waters of the Java Sea. The river course has been modified by man-made activities in this intensively farmed area of both rice paddies and prawn farms. Additional farmland is created in this densely populated area around Indramayu as the delta progrades into the Java Sea. Adjacent coastal plains are partly submerged by river water channelled by intense agricultural activity

EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph captures the dramatic scene of a flooding river discharging eroded soil, silt, and other sediments into the Java Sea along the north coast of Java Island in Indonesia. The image showcases more than four main river channels sending dark brown plumes of suspended sediments into the aqua blue waters of the sea. As these terrestrial waters mix with the oceanic currents, an enchanting oil-painting effect is created. The man-made modifications to the river course are evident in this intensively farmed area that encompasses both rice paddies and prawn farms. This densely populated region around Indramayu witnesses additional farmland being created as the delta progrades further into the Java Sea. The consequences of intense agricultural activity can be observed as adjacent coastal plains become partially submerged by river water channeled through these channels. Photography by Mangiwau has skillfully captured this mesmerizing moment, showcasing nature's power and human intervention side by side. This print serves as a reminder of our impact on fragile ecosystems while also highlighting their inherent beauty. It prompts us to reflect on sustainable practices that can help preserve our natural resources for future generations.
