Barito Kuala, Administrative regency in South Kalimantan, Indonesia.
Description
Barito Kuala is an administrative regency in South Kalimantan that spans lowland areas defined by river networks and wetlands. The territory is divided into seventeen districts containing around two hundred villages.
History
The Indonesian government established this administrative region in 1960, choosing Marabahan as its capital due to its location along important trade routes. This location choice has shaped the region's development ever since.
Culture
Local communities have kept their traditional fishing and farming methods alive, passing these practices to younger generations. The way people here work and live is closely tied to the rivers and land around them.
Practical
The terrain is very flat and crisscrossed by waterways, so boats are often the main way to get around in many areas. Traveling during drier months makes it easier to navigate the region.
Did you know?
The region sits at around one meter above sea level and contains extensive peatlands that function as a natural water storage system. This extremely flat terrain with its peat deposits is rare to find across Southeast Asia.
