Description
The cultural landscape of Bali consists of lowland rice terraces and their temples, covering a 19,500-hectare area. The temples act as focal points within this cooperative water management system of canals and weirs, known as Subak. Although the exact date of its origin is unknown, evidence suggests the system has existed since 800 of the Saka Calendar, or 882 AD. Learning from the Subak system reflects the philosophical principle of Tri Hita Karana, which emphasises the balance between spirituality, the human world, and mother nature.
