Java Ricefields 照片檔

An aerial photo showing typical layout of ricefields and irrigational channels in the broad floodplains of West Java, near Indramayu, Indonesia. Many of the rice paddies are deliberately flooded, a seasonal farming practice during early stages of rice growth. Control of the water via intricate irrigation channels to adjoining rice paddies requires collobaration and coordination between farmers and authorities. In drier seasons, when water becomes more difficult to source, disputes can arise between farmers.
