Excellent overview of Bali's Irrigation culture
Set on a shaded hillside with water features and gardens, this modern museum should be your starting point to understanding Bali's Unesco recognized Subak Water Culture. After the 15K admission, an English-speaking guide led our tour of the large single floor space bordered by a score of exhibits and dioramas with implements, tools, and sculptures filling the interior. The Subak System that began in the 10th C with irrigation channels to provide a steady flow of water to its farmers grew into a cultural organization set up much like a modern corporation with a hierarchical leadership, scheduled area meetings with penalties for late attendance, and structured long term projects of tunnels, dams, and canals. We learned about the 2 and 4 finger water allocation, a printed planting almanac, community involvement in creation and worship of Water Temples. This one hour education helped my wife and I understand the structure, crop sequence, and operation of all those rice terraces we have visited in Bali.
