‘Gemah Ripah Loh Jinawi’

Java is an island that was largely formed from volcanic activity. A series of volcanic mountains form a range that stretches from east to west of this island, with river alluvial sediment plains in the north. The island of Java, which is very fertile and has high rainfall, allows the development of rice cultivation in wetlands. Almost the entire region of Java has been affected by volcanic activity. There is a mountain range that stretches from east to west of this island, all of which at certain times have been active volcanoes. The highest volcano in Java is Mount Semeru, while the most active volcanoes in Java and even in Indonesia are Mount Merapi and Mount Kelud. Mountains and plateaus that are far apart are relatively isolated and suitable for wetland rice fields. Rice paddy fields in Java are one of the most fertile in the world.

Indonesia only experiences summer and rainy seasons, the distribution of rainfall is sometimes unbalanced and difficult to predict. A reservoir is a natural or artificial lake which functions to store clean water reserves when the water reaches an excessive volume so that it can be used when needed. Efforts to regulate the entry and exit of water into reservoirs are necessary to control water discharge and prevent flooding. Regulated water is rain or river water that is stored in reservoirs, so that water can be available at the right time or place in the required quantity. Apart from that, the reservoir is a source of irrigation for the surrounding agricultural land as well as a place for cultivating fish by building floating nets or cages as well as a plant and animal conservation area for green open space, recreation and community economic activities.
