Actually building water canal and irrigation water across all the palm plantations will be a good fire barrier as well as reservoir for water to flood the plantation and put out the peatland fire.Reply
This idea is being put forward 3 to 4 years ago - where only this couple of days, President Jokowi pick it up.
Fire will not be able to spread by crossing the canal fill up with water.
To help to fight fire, water from the canal can be drawn to put out the fire.
When fire smoulder underground from the peat fire, water gates can be open for the canal water to flood the plantation and put out the fire.
Every plantation owners should be ordered to build canals and irrigation drainage in their plantation in order to be issue with license.
This will help to speed up the canal construction process.

Canal buildings should not only be the sole approach to fight haze fire.
Legislations to punish plantation owners that adopt slash and burn should be adopted.

Canal or irrigation drainage can be build like a checkered chess board.
Fires will be contained within each squared chess board and can be put out very quickly as fire cannot be spread across a chequered square.
Plantation owners without ethics who want to start a fire will face difficulty as previously without the canal, some fuel and a match stick will cause the fire to spread unabated.
With checkered canal or irrigation drainage, he will have to lit fire in every checkered box - and he will be caught easily the moment he start a fire in one or 2 checkered box.
