The first King of Mengwi, the Lord of Balayu, built a dam over the Sungi River. [5] According to Henk Schulte Nordholt, this dam was very important for the economy along the river bank, providing needed irrigation for the people to prosper. [4]

[6] The annual average temperature in the area is 24 °C (75 °F). The warmest month is October when the average temperature is around 25 °C (77 °F), and the coldest is July, at 22 °C (72 °F).
