Sumur Ini Airnya Tak Pernah Kering

Ilustrasi

Percaya tidak jika sebuah sumur di samping situs Batu Bersurat di Pasir Panjang, Meral, Kabupaten Karimun, Provinsi Kepulauan Riau tidak pernah kering?

Percaya atau tidak, yang jelas kalangan warga di Pasir Panjang mengatakan air sumur tersebut memang tidak pernah habis-habisnya walaupun musim kemarau.

''Airnya memang tidak pernah habis walaupun sering diambil warga untuk mandi. Kalau musim kemarau warga mengambil air di sini,'' kata Maimunah warga Pasir Panjang yang sehari-hari mengumpulkan sisa-sisa batu granit PT Karimun Granite.

Sumur itu lebih mirip kolam mini, letaknya di areal penambangan PT Karimun Granite, sekitar sepuluh meter dari pintu masuk perusahaan.

Sumur tersebut memanjang dengan panjang sekitar dua meter dan kedalaman tidak sampai dua meter.

Sekilas, siapapun yang melihat tidak akan percaya ada sumur karena berada di atas cekungan batu granit.

''Airnya berasal dari mata air di bawah batu yang kemudian naik di celah-celah batu yang berdempetan menuju permukaan. Namun demikian, airnya tak habis-habis walau sering di ambil warga,'' kata Boy, warga lainnya.

Tidak jauh dari sumur itu dengan jarak sekitar tiga meter, berdiri bangunan pondok ukuran 3 x 2 meter, di dalamnya terdapat situs Batu Bersurat yang diduga peninggalan zaman Hindu kuno abad IX.

Di dalam pondok yang sudah dibangun ulang itu terdapat sebuah batu dengan tulisan hindu kuno. Di atasnya terdapat sebuah foto seorang mirip pendeta hindu.

''Banyak yang datang untuk mengadakan ritual dengan membakar dupa yang berada di depan batu,'' kata Maimunah.

Di samping pondok terdapat sebuah jejak tapak kaki kiri di atas batu yang diyakini tapak Badang Perkasa. Tapak Badang Perkasa dipercayai mempunyai sejarah tersendiri, karena tapak yang sebelah kanan berada di pulau lain.

''Konon, Badang Perkasa sedang marah dengan cara menghentakkan kakinya ke batu, dia kemudian melompat hingga sampai ke pulau lain,'' katanya.

Sayangnya, situs budaya yang memiliki cerita berbagai versi itu terkesan tidak terurus, sumur dan tapak tampak dipenuhi batu-batu kerikil sisa penambangan granit.

Halo Matahari Hebohkan Karimun

Halo Matahari di Karimun

Fenomena alam berupa cincin pelangi yang melingkari matahari atau dikenal dengan Halo Matahari menghebohkan warga Pulau Karimun, Kabupaten Karimun, Provinsi Kepulauan Riau.

Halo Matahari muncul sekitar pukul 11.30 - 12.15 WIB, Senin (21/2). Warga Tanjung Balai Karimun berduyun-duyun keluar rumah menyaksikan fenomena alam yang menarik dan langka itu.

Halo Matahari muncul ketika langit Pulau Karimun Besar dalam keadaan cerah. Matahari pun bersinar dengan terik tanpa berselimut awan.

Warga yang menyaksikan fenomena itu nekad melawan sinar matahari yang menyilaukan mata. Dari kejauhan, tampak dengan jelas garis tipis berwarna kemerah-merahan melingkari matahari.

''Wah! ada gerhana ya?'' tanya Johan, warga sambil memandang ke atas dengan tangan melindungi mata agar tidak terlalu silau diterpa sinar matahari.

Sementara itu, Ismail dan sejumlah warga lainnya tampak mengabadikan fenomena itu dengan kamera telepon seluler.

''Untuk kenang-kenangan, bang,'' kata Ismail.

Fenomena Halo Matahari juga menarik perhatian puluhan pegawai Pemkab Karimun di Jalan Poros Tanjung Balai Karimun. Mereka beramai-ramai keluar ruangan kerja hanya sekedar menyaksikan pemandangan langka itu.

''Mudah-mudahan ini menjadi pertanda baik bagi kita semua,'' kata seorang anggota Satpol-PP.

Halo Matahari merupakan fenomena alam yang biasa terjadi. Menurut ilmu fisika, Halo Matahari terjadi karena adanya kristal es atau titik-titik air yang terpantul sinar matahari. Pembiasan titik air yang terpantul sinar matahari itu menimbulkan cahaya yang melingkari matahari.

Kepala Badan Meteorologi, Klimatologi dan Geofisika (BMKG) Kepri, Sulimin, seperti dikutip situs kepri.antaranews.com mengatakan, gejala munculnya Halo Matahari sama seperti pelangi.

''Kalau pelangi terjadi pada sore atau pagi hari, titik air pada lapisan bawah atmosfer terpantul cahaya matahari sehingga menimbulkan pelangi. Sedangkan Halo Matahari muncul pada siang hari akibat pembiasan titik air pada lapisan atas atmosfer,'' katanya.

Halo Matahari, menurut dia, tidak ada hubungannya dengan mistik atau bencana alam.

''Tidak ada kaitannya, ini fenomena alam biasa,'' katanya.
