Abstract
The Ulu Selo Sub-Watershed, located in Tanah Datar Regency, West Sumatra, is part of the Indragiri Watershed. The Ulu Selo Sub-Watershed flows from Mount Marapi and empties into the Batang Ombilin River. This river is a stream of water from Lake Singkarak which flows through the hills and meets the Ulu Selo Sub-Watershed to form the Indragiri River. Current farming methods employed by local farmers would not give the best result. Hence, the application of Wanatani was proposed. A survey method was employed to comprehend the notion of Wanatani in this region. Hydrological calculations and plant analyses were also conducted. According to survey and data calculation, this area would experience a water deficit during June, July, August, September, and October, with a total water deficit of 329 mm. Applying the Wanatani system using native plants and animal manure as fertilizer could help the farmers survive during this water deficit season.
