Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines man-made irrigation systems established by the Javanese and Malais, and later improved upon by Dutch engineers. The Javanese utilized rivers and streams in the mountains, often connecting them to rice paddies via a series of canals to capture the rainfall. More elaborate systems were later developed to direct water to more arid lowland areas where it was vital for crop cultivation. The author discusses the history and development of irrigation in Java and explains the engineering challenges of creating and maintaining these systems. The book reveals the sophisticated engineering techniques developed by Javanese and Dutch engineers, which have had a profound impact on shaping the agricultural landscape of Java. It illuminates the complexities of water management in a region where rainfall is both abundant and unpredictable, and where the livelihoods of millions depend on a reliable water supply.
