Bali's tourism industry is booming but the influx of tourists is being blamed for a water shortage and contributing to a possible drought.

Al Jazeera's Step Vaessen reports on how Bali's delicate environmental balance is being threatened by the Indonesian island's growing popularity.

  • Gross tourists living it up while the locals go without water.

    Typical scenario in our primitive monetary class system.

  • hate bule'!!!!!!! even though i am one. But some tourist have no repect for our locals...

  • @TuoiComaWhite :at l5~.U must listen it.

  • This is one of our listening exercise in RMIT ENLISH COURSE.

    Yep, i think we shoul use all their tourism money to help the Balinese.

  • not that easy

  • My oppinion, if the villagers left their village to another city in Bali (Denpasar, Kuta, atc) they can get more water, and their villages can be reconstructed, the government planted by trees for a new forest on the drylands. So water can be absorbed by the forest, and no more drought in Bali. Another benefits, forest save our earth from global warming and can also used as tourism attraction isn't it? Not only hotels and golf can attracted touists. What do you think? PEACE.

  • Some of the profits from the hotels should be funneled to create water supplies for the people living there. If not! I suggest all tourists go to Thailand! They have more common sense in Thailand, and are more concerned with their own people over profits!

  • money talks! same old story isn't it....

  • yes i am!!! exactly..mutant retarded, whatever u want me to call, nazi, kkk,racist.facist.

  • Why would I? I think you must have been born next to a Russian nuclear power plant. Made you some kind of mutant retard.

  • U ARE CAUCASIAN u kidding me right
