subak
Subak is a traditional irrigation system used in Bali, Indonesia, designed to manage water distribution for rice fields. This cooperative system involves local farmers working together to share water from rivers and springs, ensuring that each field receives the necessary amount for optimal growth.
The Subak system is not only practical but also reflects the cultural and spiritual values of the Balinese people. It is often associated with the Hindu philosophy of balance and harmony, emphasizing the connection between agriculture, community, and the environment. This unique approach has been recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage site.
