Geolocation data of irrigation network in water user association’s operation area under community-based and provider-based network governance

Abstract

Massive irrigation development has influenced the way farmers govern water user associations (WUAs) in Klambu Wilalung Irrigation District in Central Java, Indonesia. Recently, farmers adopt community-based (swakelola) and provider-based (lelang) network governance to manage the WUAs. The physical conditions of the irrigation network have become the primary driver of WUA’s governance selection. This article provides geolocation data of irrigation network in the operation area of WUAs under community-based and provider-based network governance. The irrigation network consisted of two components, irrigation canal, and structure. Irrigation canal divided into the primary and secondary canal. The data cover GPS Tracks coordinates for 75 secondary canals and seven primary canals. Meanwhile, irrigation structures were grouped into main and support structures and consists of 12 types of structure.
