She recalls how when she was little she would see buffalo roam through the village’s fields where rice, corn and chilis would grow. Some neighbors kept fish ponds filled with catfish they could sell at the market or eat themselves.“Everything we needed was here,” she says.

She remembers how the water began to rise. The fields and trees all died from the salt water. All the buffalo were sold as there began to be no land to safely keep them. Even the fish ponds failed, the water getting so high the fish could jump over the netted walls. Eventually the graveyard became flooded, with the dead being buried further away.“It’s just like the ocean here now,” she says.These days, a man comes on a boat during the week to sell them the things they used to be able to grow or raise for themselves. Houses have collapsed around them.

Wahidah says she knows about 40 people who have left, moving to other parts of Java that haven’t permanently flooded yet.“I think the younger generation should move. If they have money they should buy land. But I don’t have money right now, so I stay,” she says.
