| dc.description.abstract | Water irrigation plays an important role in increasing land productivity. Kedung Ombo Irrigation
system is one of governmental establishment dam that fullfill agriculture irrigation water need in four
related region; Grobogan, Kudus, Pati and Demak district. In structure, there are four types of canal to
flow water from Kedung Ombo dam to farmer plot; primary, secondary, tertiary, and quartery canals.
The first two are managed by government, while the another two are manged by water usage
association-WUA or Perkumpulan Petani Pemakai Air-P3A. Our research concern is the last two;
tertiary and quarterly canal management. Since 2005, farmer has been introduced indegeneusly
lelang system as an alternative to manage irrigation water in farm level as replacement of
swakelola system. The lelang system provide more right to farmer; not only water right but also
improving agriculture infrastructutre. One of P3A is a P3A that located in Kalirejo, Undaan Sub-district,
Kudus District that started to adopt the system since 2007. However, since in the lelang system head
of P3A is decided by highest bidder that potentially not the farmer, their achievement to manage water
and other agriculture activities were not satisfied enough. Unless in 2015 farmer tried to return the
system back to swakelola system with some modification that we call as lelang-swakelola system.
This research aim to (1) describe institutional change of irrigation management system in a P3A, (2)
compare performance of two irrigation water management systems; lelang system and lelangswakelola
system. The data was collected from P3A seasonal record and depth interview to key
infromants. The results show that lelang-swakelola system give more right to farmer: (1) providing
agriculture infrastructure, (2) maintaining tertiary and quarterly canal, and (3) conducting pest control.
The first two duty was the same with the lelang system, while the the last is additional duty as
conducted by swakelola system before 2007. The performnace of lelang-swakelola system is known
better than lelang system. This research is preliminary research that need to be expanded in more
coverage the get more comprehensive finding. | en_US |
