Karangasem, Bali – A delegation from the World Water Forum 2024 visited Karangasem, Bali, to study the traditional *Subak* irrigation system, a Balinese cultural heritage. During the visit, the delegation was introduced to the importance of *Subak* in water management and agriculture in Bali. The delegation included two lecturers from Trisakti University—Prof. Dr. Ir. Astri Rinanti Nugroho, M.T., IPM (Director of the Institute for Research and Community Service) and Wahyu Sejati, S.T., M.T. (lecturer at the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Planning)—as well as two Civil Engineering students from the same faculty, Salsabilla Dara Ibrahim and Dimas Ibnu Seno.

The forum provides a unique platform where the water community and key decision-makers can collaborate and make long-term progress in addressing global water challenges. It brings together participants from all levels and sectors, including politics, multilateral institutions, academia, civil society, and the private sector.
