Its terracing system is formed from a piece of sloped plane that has been cut into a series of successively receding flat surfaces or platforms. Terracing is commonly used on hilly or mountainous terrain. This system is claimed to decrease both erosion and surface runoff, and used to support growing crops that require irrigation (such as rice). The traditional irrigation system of rice terraces in Bali is managed by a community group called Subak, which was developed in the 9th century.

Farmers in Bali understand that irrigation is not just providing water for the plant root, but the water is also used to construct a complex, pulsed artificial ecosystem. The rice paddies, water for irrigation, and water control system (subak) have together shaped the landscape of Bali over the past thousand years.
