Rice Cultivation . 

Rice is not only essential fare but a secred gift. Dewi Sri, the rice goddess, is one of the favoured gods, and worship of this deity predates Balinese Hinduism . Heavy rainfall, natural spring, fertile volcanic loams and constant sunshine make Bali ideal for rice farming. Indeed , such agricultural prosperity has enabled the development of a complex civilisation since early times. 

Since 11th century, all people whose land was fed by the same water channel have belonged to a subak , or irrigation co-operative, Distinct from normal village organizations,  a subak may co-ordinate irrigation of several villages, depending on drainage pattern . The most important duties of the co-operative include , the  construction irrigation techniques make Balinese rice farming the most sophisticated in Indonesia.

The subak also overseas the culture side of cultivation . All aspect of farming are discussed with recourse to the gods and holy days , and offerring are used to make a " rice mother " effigy, known as cili, later enshrined in the cultivator's household temple to survey and protect the crop. At harvest time, everyone help, working by day, celebrating by night. Beras Bali , the favoured stain of rice, is used primarily for ceremonies , and yields one harvest a year. The introduction of new breeds of rice capable of two or more harvests a year has almost replaced the traditional breed .

Bali Climate.....................

CLIMATE................................

Place just below equator, bali has a benign tropical climate. There are two reasons, a short, hot, wet season, musim hujan , and a longer, cooler, dry season, musim panas . The mountains are wet year around, averaging 2,800 mm ( 110 inches ) of rain. 

The everage temperature in Bali is 26C ( 79F) and the humidity is relentless 75%. Generally the mountains are about 10C ( 50F ) cooler that the coast, and in the dry season the nights can be chilly. The wet season last from November to March , and is the hottest time of the year with temperatures averaging 30-33C ( 86 - 91F ) by day, 24 - 25C ( 75-77F) by night. April to October is the dry season, when south -easterly winds blow from the Austrlian interior, easing the temperature by 2-3C ( 36-37F) . Bali often experiences north-east and south-west monsoons, but being close to the equator is protected from typhoons and cyclones.

It's no secret that the Balinese use the sun as a clock. The island's proximity to the equator guarantees a fairly uniform 12 hours of daylight. The shortest day is in late June, the longest is in late December, and there is only about an hour's difference.
