History   
Before the construction of the water garden, there was a big spring water in this area. Therefore people surrounding the area called this place "embukan" which means spring water.

The spring water was then functioned to fulfil the people's need of water and also for the "purification" of the Gods (Ida Betara). For this case, the spring water is recognised to be holy and sacred.
Description   
The water garden scratches on a 1,2 hectare area, which consists of three complexes. The first one lies on the lowest level and includes two ponds and a water tower. The second complex, in the middle level, has swimming pools. The rest house of the King is located in the third part.
