But it is very useful and effective for rice farming on the mountainous area. Due to mountainous landscape with very small flat land area, so the people invented Subak irrigation system. The system flattened a bit of the mountain side each level and shaped them like stairs or terrace. The water system flowing from the top rice farm and continuously going down to the next level below. This irrigation system allows the local farmer to produce rice which is our main food in Indonesia.
