It is not uncommon for rivers in Pekalongan to turn different colors. Bright green water covered another village north of the city during a flood last month.

“Sometimes there are purple puddles on the road too,” said Twitter user Area Julid, who claimed to be from the area.

The head of Pekalongan disaster relief, Dimas Arga Yudha, confirmed that the photos being circulated were real. “The red flood is due to the batik dye, which has been hit by the flood. It will disappear when it mixes with rain after a while,” he said.The comments uploaded on this site do not necessarily represent or reflect the views of management and owner of Cebudailynews.
