REVIEW OF WATER QUALITY CRITERIA FOR IRRIGATION
Abstract
Government Regulation No. 82 year 2001 regarding Water
Quality and Water Pollution Control containing water quality
criteria based on water quality classes, so water quality
objectives with the wide range utilization become less
specific then the quality of the irrigation raw water must meet
class II, class III and class IV. On the other hand, the need of
water for agricultural irrigation sector is a very large
ammount and their needs is getting increase in line with
population growth, while the availability of water is on the
wane and more aggravated due to the presence of an
increasingly severe pollution. Therefore, to meet the needs of
large amounts of water with good quality increasingly
difficult. It is very burdensome of raw water providers, what
the water quality criteria is needed for irrigation ? Based on
the analysis of benchmarking several references and then to
compose a propose of irrigation water quality criteria.
Furthermore, evaluating water quality data of raw water
irrigation in Walahar weir of Citarum River-Karawang,
Pamarayan weir of Ciujung River-Serang and irrigation canal
in Garang River Semarang. Based on the propose of water
irrigation criteria resulted in good and very good
classification, however, based on class II of water quality
criteria resulted not suitable classification, however, it has
good productivity that higher then the national average
productivity. Indeed, the water quality criteria of Government
Regulation No. 82 year 2001 is still prevailed for water quality
standards determination and water quality objective
standards is set up by other relevant regulations such as:
Regulation of Government/Governor/Mayor based on their
obligation.
Key Word: water quality standards, irrigation, water

LAMONG DAM SIMULATION OF OPERATION FOR RAW
WATER AND IRRIGATION
Abstract
Lamong River Basin is located in the Lamongan and
Mojokerto Regency for the upstream part, Gresik Regency and
Surabaya City for the downstream part. Lamong River Basin
has area about 720 km2 with the main river channel has
length about 103 km. Hydrological condition of Lamong
River Basin is critical, as a result, most part of the Lamong
River Basin that located in the region of Gresik and Surabaya
Regency, every year is suffering from flooding due to
overflowing. By contrast, in the upstream of Lamong River
Basin is always shortage of water in the dry season. In the
study, inflow discharge of Lamong Reservoir are obtained by
synthetic streamflow data generation using Thomas Fiering
method. Historical flow data are obtained by transforming
rain data into discharge data using Mock model and using
rainfall data of Ngimbang Station, Bluluk Station and Mantup
Station and also discharge measurement data of Boboh
Station in 1995-1997. The calculation of raw water demand is
based on a standard requirement of raw water from
Directorate General Human Settlements, Ministry of Public
Works in 2003, while the irrigation water requirement is
calculated by Standard Irrigation Planning (KP-01) in 1986.
Simulations are conducted from the year of 2016 to 2025 with
the use of Standard Operating Rule (SOR).The results show
that the needs of raw water by people served by the Lamong
Reservoir is equal to 5,70 million m3 in 2015 and 5,74 million
m3 in 2025. Reliability of Lamong Reservoir in serving the
needs of raw water will be achieved 99,17 % by the planting
area covering 2.117 Ha with irrigation water reliability in
serving 96,25 %.

DETERMINING OPTIMAL SOIL MOISTURE FOR SYSTEM OF
RICE INTENSIFICATION PADDY FIELD USING GENETIC
ALGORITHMS
Abstract
In this study, an optimal soil moisture level that maximizes
both yield and water productivity of system of rice
intensification (SRI) paddy field was simulated by genetic
algorithms (GA) model. The GA model was performed to find
an optimal combination of soil moisture levels according to
the empirical data during three cropping seasons at
Nusantara Organic SRI Center (NOSC), Nagrak Sukabumi,
West Java. Here, we classified soil moisture level into three
levels i.e. wet (W), medium (M) or dry (D) based on the soil
water retention curve. As the results, the optimal soil
moisture was a combination of wet, wet, medium, and dry
levels of soil moisture for initial, crop development, mid-
season and late season growth stages, respectively. The wet
level in the initial and crop development growth stages should
be achieved providing enough water for the plant to develop
root, stem and tiller, and then the field can be drained into the
medium level with the irrigation threshold of field capacity to
avoid spikelet sterility in the mid-season stage, and finally, let
the field in the dry level to save more water in the late season
stage when plant water requirement is minimum. By this
scenario, it was simulated that the yield can be increased up
to 4.40% and water productivity up to 8.40% with saving
water up to 12.28% compared to the empirical data.

PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF SPRINKLER IRRIGATON
BY HYDRAULIC SIMULATION USING EPANET 2.0
Abstract
Sprinkler irrigation network could be a good investment
when designed, installed, maintained and managed well. But
manually calculation consumes much time and gives rise to
human error. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the
performance of sprinkler irrigation using secondary data and
the data was analyzed by using simulation of EPANET 2.0
software. This study was conducted on irrigation network in
the village of Tenilo, Gorontalo and the villages of Akar-akar,
NTB. The simulation resulted the average pressure at both
locations was excess of the recommended optimum pressure
40 m, but it was not excess the maximum recommended
pressure 65 m. The variation pressure on each location were
2.82 m and 9.35 m. Debit issued by sprinkler was also nearing
discharge plan 9.11 liters/second. The velocity of the flow
both locations was not different much. It was less than
maximum allowable speed 3 m/s, it meant that the network
was safe from abrasion and water hammer on a pipe. Based
on the results, simulation sprinkler irrigation network
installed in the village of Tenilo and the villages of Akar-akar
have met the criteria of hydraulic limitation design of
sprinkler irrigation.

IRRIGATION PIPE LINE DESIGN ON FLAT LAND (CASE
STUDY: PASIR SALAM 3 KIRI TERTIERY, PANULISAN
IRRIGATION AREA, CILACAP)
Abstract
The main problem of the application of pressurized pipe
irrigation on flat land is not enough energy, so it may cause
problem during the operation of the network. Basically, the
flow in the pipe can be designed as open flow, so energy
requirement can be reduced. However, the application of pipe
irrigation system has not been widely studied so it can not be
applied to the field scale. This study aims to create a network
of pipe irrigation design by gravity with open flow. The
research was done by designing pipe irrigation on flat land in
Pasir Salam 3 kiri tertiary area. Afterwards the analysis and
evaluation of the design requirements was performed in
order to get technical feasibility of implementation. As the
results, the diameter of the primary pipelines ranging from 8
inches (200 mm) to 10 inches (250 mm) at a flow rate of 0.35
m/s to 0.50 m/s. While the diameter of the secondary and
tertiary pipelines between 1 inch (25 mm) to 6 inches (150
mm) with a flow velocity of 0.25 m/s to 0.46 m/s. These
results indicate that the design of the application of irrigation
pipe networks on flat land in Pasir Salam 3 kiri tertiary area
in the Panulisan Irrigation Area was technically feasible
considering the results of hydraulic calculation. Thus the
water can flow by gravity at velocity ranging from 0.25 to 0.5
m/s and energy availability 0.09 m larger than requirement .

Jurnal Irigasi merupakan publikasi ilmiah yang memuat hasil-hasil penelitian, pengembangan, kajian atau
gagasan dalam bidang ke-irigasi-an. Terbit pertama kali tahun 1986 dengan nama Jurnal Informasi Teknik dan
tahun 2006 berganti nama menjadi Jurnal Irigasi yang diterbitkan 2 (dua) kali setahun yaitu pada bulan Mei
dan Oktober. Jurnal Irigasi terbuka untuk umum, peneliti, akademisi, praktisi dan pemerhati masalah irigasi.
Dengan komitmen terus menjaga dan meningkatkan kualitas dalam setiap terbitannya, Jurnal Irigasi kini hadir
dalam ukuran A4 (210 x 297 mm) sesuai dengan ketentuan pedoman akreditasi majalah ilmiah yang
diterbitkan oleh LIPI.
Edisi kali ini dimulai dengan pembahasan mengenai desain jaringan irigasi pipa pada lahan datar, studi kasus:
Petak Tersier Pasir Salam 3 Kiri, Daerah Irigasi Panulisan Cilacap. Penggunaan pipa sebagai saluran tertutup
di bidang irigasi dewasa ini banyak diterapkan di berbagai negara termasuk di Indonesia, namun kenyataan di
lapangan, penerapan sistem ini sangat bergantung pada ketersediaan tinggi energi guna mencegah
pengendapan partikel padat (sedimentasi). Pada dasarnya aliran dalam pipa dapat diciptakan terbuka (tidak
penuh), sehingga sifat dan karakteristik aliran dapat disamakan seperti aliran pada saluran terbuka. Dengan
sifat dan karakteristik aliran terbuka, diharapkan irigasi pipa tidak memerlukan tinggi energi besar, sehingga
aliran yang terjadi dapat mengalirkan air irigasi sesuai dengan kebutuhan tanpa terjadi efek negatif seperti
sedimentasi.
Pengembangan wilayah bertujuan untuk mendorong laju pertumbuhan suatu wilayah, dengan meningkatkan
kesejahteraan petani dan mengurangi kesenjangan antar wilayah. Daerah Irigasi Cihea Kabupaten Cianjur
sesuai dengan Rencana Tata Ruang Wilayah (RTRW) Kabupaten Cianjur tahun 2013 akan dijadikan sebagai
daerah industri, hal tersebut akan berdampak terhadap penggunaan lahan yang sebagian besar adalah daerah
pertanian. Oleh karena itu dibutuhkan kajian untuk menganalisis penggunaan lahan yang bisa dikembangkan
namun tidak berdampak negatif terhadap daerah pertanian. Kajian didasarkan pada analisis spasial dengan
metode overlay dan scoring faktor-faktor dalam menentukan lokasi kawasan pengembangan untuk industri.
Meningkatnya alih fungsi lahan menyebabkan lahan pertanian semakin terbatas. Peningkatkan produktivitas
hasil pertanian pada lahan yang terbatas dapat diatasi dengan penggunaan irigasi mikro. Irigasi mikro terdiri
atas beberapa jenis antara lain irigasi tetes, irigasi subsurface, irigasi mini sprinklers dan mikro sprayer.
Penggunaan sistem irigasi mikro dalam penerapannya tidak membutuhkan lahan yang besar, serta dapat
memanfaatkan sumber air seadanya. Artikel ketiga edisi ini akan membahas mengenai desain jaringan irigasi
mikro jenis mini sprinkler dalam skala laboratorium berdasarkan data hasil pengukuran luas lahan dengan
menggunakan alat survey Real Time Kinematic (RTK) serta data klimatologi yang dihitung dengan bantuan
Software Cropwat 8.0 serta Surfer 9.
Irigasi merupakan segala kegiatan yang berhubungan dengan usaha mendapatkan air guna keperluan
pertanian. Agar irigasi dapat dilakukan secara optimum maka perlu dibuat suatu sistem irigasi otomatis yang
mampu menyediakan air untuk tanaman sesuai kondisi yang diharapkan. Penelitian mengenai sistem kontrol
irigasi otomatis nirkabel diharapkan mampu mengatur pemberian air irigasi sesuai dengan kebutuhan tanaman
(efisiensi air irigasi). Untuk area luas sistem irigasi otomatis dapat menggunakan Sistem Wireless Sensor
Network (WSN). Kelebihan sistem ini diantaranya adalah kemudahan dalam proses instalasi perangkat serta
kemudahan dalam mengunduh data sehingga monitoring seluruh kawasan irigasi dapat dilakukan dengan
mudah. Pada penelitian ini digunakan perangkat Xbee/Xbee pro sebagai perangkat sistem nirkabel dengan
sistem komunikasi gelombang radio dan perangkat modem GSM untuk sistem komunikasi SMS.
Sebagai pengguna langsung irigasi di lapangan, petani melalui Gabungan Perkumpulan Petani Pemakai Air
(GP3A) dimungkinkan untuk berpartisipasi pada pengelolaan jaringan utama sistem irigasi. Pemerintah Daerah
Istimewa Yogyakarta (DIY) mendorong GP3A untuk berpartisipasi dalam pengelolaan jaringan utama agar
petani lebih memahami sistem irigasi secara komprehensif sehingga pengelolaan jaringan irigasi lebih
tertangani dan keberlanjutan irigasi dapat dicapai. Berdasarkan kinerjanya terdapat 3 kelompok GP3A yaitu
Kluster 1 untuk GP3A dengan kinerja baik dan merata di semua aspek, Kluster 2 untuk GP3A dengan kelemahan
aspek keuangan, dan Kluster 3 untuk GP3A dengan kelemahan aspek kelembagaan dan keuangan.
Artikel terakhir edisi ini menyajikan penilaian kinerja pengelolaan sistem irigasi menggunakan metode
MASSCOTE yang berbeda dengan Penilaian kinerja berdasarkan Permen PU No.32/2007. Kinerja irigasi
menjadi suatu indikasi dalam rangka menggambarkan suatu pengelolaan sistem irigasi. Penilaian kinerja
berdasarkan Permen PU No. 32/2007 dilakukan terhadap 6 (enam) parameter yaitu; prasarana fisik,
produktivitas tanam, sarana penunjang, organisasi personalia, dokumentasi dan Perkumpulan Petani Pemakai
Air (P3A), sedangkan pendekatan metode MASSCOTE dilakukan dengan Evaluasi Rapid Appraisal Procedure
(RAP) yang merupakan seperangkat prosedur sistematis untuk mendiagnosa hambatan, kinerja dan tingkat
layanan dalam sistem irigasi terhadap 4 (empat) indikator utama yaitu; indikator pelayanan, indikator P3A,
indikator SDM operator, dan indikator modernisasi operasi saluran.
