Tukad Daya
The Tukad Daya is a river located in Buleleng, north of the island of Bali. The 40 km long river originates from its headwaters around Kintamani, north of the highland ridge stretching between the northwest slope of the Batur caldera and the east slope of the Bratan caldera. Flowing through the gorges, it reaches the northern coast of Bali around Bungkulan and empties into the Bali Sea. Drainage basin Tukad Daya is the main stem in the river system of Tukad Daya, which covers an area of , including parts of the Kintamani, Sawan, and Kubutambahan districts. Generally, the topography of the Tukad Daya basin consists of steep slopes from two mountains range, namely Mount Batur and Bratan, and gradually descends around the northern coast in Bungkulan. To the south of the upstream of the Tukad Daya basin, it is adjacent to the Tukad Ayung basin. The hydrological boundary along the ridge of the Kintamani highland has divided the flow into two directions, namely the northern ...

Mountain Range
A mountain range or hill range is a series of mountains or hills arranged in a line and connected by high ground. A mountain system or mountain belt is a group of mountain ranges with similarity in form, structure, and alignment that have arisen from the same cause, usually an orogeny. Mountain ranges are formed by a variety of geological processes, but most of the significant ones on Earth are the result of plate tectonics. Mountain ranges are also found on many planetary mass objects in the Solar System and are likely a feature of most terrestrial planets. Mountain ranges are usually segmented by highlands or mountain passes and valleys. Individual mountains within the same mountain range do not necessarily have the same geologic structure or petrology. They may be a mix of different orogenic expressions and terranes, for example thrust sheets, uplifted blocks, fold mountains, and volcanic landforms resulting in a variety of rock types. Major ranges Most geolo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Subak (irrigation)
Subak is the water management (irrigation) system for the paddy fields on Bali island, Indonesia. It was developed in the 9th century. For the Balinese, irrigation is not simply providing water for the plant's roots, but water is used to construct a complex, pulsed artificial ecosystem that is at the same time autonomous and interdependent. The system consists of terraced rice fields and water temples covering nearly . The temples are the main focus of this cooperative water management, known as ''subak''. History and Etymology The ''subak'' system was started some time during the 9th century, when political Bali was a patchwork of kingdoms - which gives food for thought on both aspects: the physical feat of creating such a wondrous landscape, and the profound social impact from the cooperation it imposed as a '' sine qua non'' between entities such as kingdoms. The first known written record dates from around the 11th century: a text from that period cites it under the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Tegenungan Waterfall
Tegenungan Waterfall is a waterfall in Bali, Indonesia. It is located at the village of Tegenungan Kemenuh, also known as Kemenuh Village on the Petanu River in the Gianyar Regency, north from the capital Denpasar and close to the ''Balinese art''ist village of Ubud. The Petanu River ranks among the longest rivers in Bali following the renowned Ayung and Telaga Waja Rivers. Stretching approximately 46.96 kilometers, this river flows past Tegenungan Waterfall originating from the highlands of Mount Batur in Kintamani. It meanders through regions like Tampaksiring, Ubud, and the village of Blahbatuh. The local community believes that the Petanu River provides both physical sustenance and spiritual protection making the area a sacred place for meditation and prayer. Tegenungan Waterfall can be visited year-round with each season offering a distinct experience. The dry season which runs from April to October is considered the most favorable time for visitors.

Kintamani (dog)
The Kintamani (), or the Kintamani-Bali Dog, is a dog breed native to the Indonesian List of islands of Indonesia, island of Bali. Originally from the Kintamani, Bali, Kintamani region, it is a popular dog amongst residents on the island and the region's only official breed, having been developed from free-roaming local Bali Free-ranging dog, street dogs. It was recognised by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale, Federation Cynologique Internationale (FCI) in 2019. Lineage The ancestors of the historic Balinese street dogs arrived on the island around 3,000 years ago. A genetic study indicated that the Kintamani breed is genetically related to local island dogs found on Bali. In turn, the island's resident and stray dogs are most-closely aligned with the Dingo, Australian dingo or the New Guinea singing dog, and more distantly-related to American Kennel Club, AKC-recognised breeds of Asian origin, but less to those of European origin. In 1926, a rabies-control measure b ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Bali Kingdom
The Kingdomship of Bali ( Balinese: ᭚ᬓᭂᬭᬚ᭡ᬦ᭄ᬩᬮᬶ; romanized: ''Kĕrajaan Bali'') was a series of Hindu-Buddhist kingdoms that once ruled some parts of the volcanic island of Bali, in Lesser Sunda Islands, Indonesia. With a history of native Balinese kingship spanning from the early 10th to early 20th centuries, Balinese kingdoms demonstrated sophisticated Balinese court culture where native elements of spirit and ancestral reverence combined with Hindu influences—adopted from India through ancient Java intermediary—flourished, enriched and shaped Balinese culture. Because of its proximity and close cultural relations with the neighbouring island of Java during the Indonesian Hindu-Buddhist period, the history of the Bali Kingdom was often intertwined with and heavily influenced by its Javanese counterparts, from Mataram (c. 9th century) to the Majapahit empire in the 13th to 15th centuries.

Lake Batur
Lake Batur ( Indonesian: ''Danau Batur''; Balinese: ᬤᬦᬸᬩᬢᬸᬃ, ''Danu Batur'') is a volcanic crater lake in Kintamani, Bali, Bangli Regency of Bali, located about northeast of Ubud in Bali. The lake is inside of the caldera of an active volcano, Mount Batur, located along the Ring of Fire of volcanic activity. Geography Lake Batur lies south-east of the active Mount Batur volcano, inside the older Batur caldera. Bathymetry The deepest point in the lake is around 88 meters. Watershed Inflow from agriculture The Batur caldera is an important agricultural area, with cultivation of a wide range of produce. The irrigation water flows back into the lake after it has been pumped up, bringing with it nutrients to the lake body. Inflow from hot springs In the village of Toya Bungkah, there are several hot springs related to the volcanic activity of the Mount Batur volcano. These have been developed for tourism purposes. The water from these hot springs fl ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Water Resources
Water resources are natural resources of water that are potentially useful for humans, for example as a source of drinking water supply or irrigation water. These resources can be either Fresh water, freshwater from natural sources, or water produced artificially from other sources, such as from reclaimed water (wastewater) or Desalination, desalinated water (seawater). 97% of the water on Earth is saline water, salt water and only three percent is fresh water; slightly over two-thirds of this is frozen in glaciers and polar climate, polar ice caps. The remaining unfrozen freshwater is found mainly as groundwater, with only a small fraction present above ground or in the air. Natural sources of fresh water include surface water, under river flow, groundwater and ice, frozen water. People use water resources for agriculture, agricultural, Industry (economics), industrial and household activities. Water resources are under threat from multiple issues. There is water scarcity, water p ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
List Of Drainage Basins Of Indonesia
This is a list of river catchment areas, also known as drainage basins, in Indonesia. Based on the National River Basin Classification map, Indonesia has a total of 42,210 river basins organized as a basis for determining watershed management policies. The policy decisions are based on various criteria such as land conditions (critical land, land cover, erosion), water quality, water quantity, water continuity, socio-economic factors, investment in soil and water conservation structures, as well as spatial utilization. In the National Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMN) for the period 2015–2019, there were 15 priority river basins (indicated in yellow) out of 108 designated priority river basins in the Integrated River Basin Management Plan (RPDAST) according to Decree No. 328/Menhut-II/2009. Additionally, there are 9 river basins categorized as disaster-prone areas. Going forward, all the 108 designated priority river basins in the RPDAST will be given priority, particularly f ...

Flood Control
Flood management or flood control are methods used to reduce or prevent the detrimental effects of flood waters. Flooding can be caused by a mix of both natural processes, such as extreme weather upstream, and human changes to waterbodies and runoff. Flood management methods can be either of the ''structural'' type (i.e. flood control) and of the ''non-structural'' type. Structural methods hold back floodwaters physically, while non-structural methods do not. Building hard infrastructure to prevent flooding, such as flood walls, is effective at managing flooding. However, it is best practice within landscape engineering to rely more on soft infrastructure and Nature-based solutions, natural systems, such as marshes and Floodplain, flood plains, for handling the increase in water. Flood management can include ''flood risk management,'' which focuses on measures to reduce risk, vulnerability and exposure to flood disasters and providing risk analysis through, for example, flood ris ...

Micro Hydro
Micro hydro is a type of hydroelectric power that typically produces from 5 kW to 100 kW of electricity using the natural flow of water. Installations below 5 kW are called pico hydro. These installations can provide power to an isolated home or small community, or are sometimes connected to electric power networks, particularly where net metering is offered. There are many of these installations around the world, particularly in developing nations as they can provide an economical source of energy without the purchase of fuel. Micro hydro systems complement solar PV power systems because in many areas water flow, and thus available hydro power, is highest in the winter when solar energy is at a minimum. Micro hydro is frequently accomplished with a pelton wheel for high head, low flow water supply. The installation is often just a small dammed pool, at the top of a waterfall, with several hundred feet of pipe leading to a small generator housing. In low head site ...

Drainage Divide
A drainage divide, water divide, ridgeline, watershed, water parting or height of land is elevated terrain that separates neighboring drainage basins. On rugged land, the divide lies along topographical ridges, and may be in the form of a single range of hills or mountains, known as a dividing range. On flat terrain, especially where the ground is marshy, the divide may be difficult to discern. A triple divide is a point, often a summit, where three drainage basins meet. A ''valley floor divide'' is a low drainage divide that runs across a valley, sometimes created by deposition or stream capture. Major divides separating rivers that drain to different seas or oceans are continental divides. The term ''height of land'' is used in Canada and the United States to refer to a drainage divide. It is frequently used in border descriptions, which are set according to the "doctrine of natural boundaries". In glaciated areas it often refers to a low point on a divide where it is po ...
