In our Village this season is a tiring peak, but for us this is a fun-moment. How come? after harvest 6 months ago they have to wait which is usually only 2m after the harvest, but it's been 6 months waiting for them to plow the fields again. This is a factor of the lack of water in irrigation, So they can not meet the water needs in the fields to plow their land.
This is a new problem that happens in our place, previously the water discharge that is divided by officers docked water settlement is very adequate for the area of the capsule. After I review there are 3 main causes are very influential due to the lack of water here.
- Because of the formation of new rice fields, but there is no extension program.
- The influence of the irrigation canal is increasingly narrow and shallow so it is not able to flow water into paddy fields.
- Uncontrolled rice field environment, Examples such as community activities on the outskirts of rice fields that are very fond of planting oil palm crops. oil palm can suck thousands of liters of water a week, so that the paddy field near the palm oil plantation is very threatening to the rice farmers.
This is very threatening rice fields resulting from reduced water discharge needed for rice fields.
Here's a little experience that happens in our environment that I can share with friends in the blog steemit.
Hopefully it can be useful for friends who work as farmers and smallholders adjacent to rice fields and plantations, so there is no bad impact and harm to others.
Compact greeting in sharing knowledge and experience, and do not forget on upvote and on reblog or comment.
good night and happy break to the State of Indonesia and its surroundings and congratulations on activities for those who are still in activity.
