Karangasem Regency is located at the east end of the island of Bali, with an area of about 83.954 Ha, inhabited by a population of around 369,000. The region of Karangasem consists of many hills with dry land, which is close to the condition of wildlife in west Lombok. This hot and dry condition were even more intensified, due to the eruption of the Gunung Agung in 1963. A part of the region of Karangasem, especially the northern part, was covered by lava from this eruption, which killed thousands of people. In the 1980s, this area gradually started to flourish with green wildlife, after various grass started to grow, along with the effort of spreading agriculture in the area. Patches of rice fields seen on the outskirts of Karangasem has been put back according to its original order, which was due to the effort of the Subak organizations of the area.Posted in Bali by Joy Sastra Wijaya on 06/20/2008 | 0 Comments
