| Summary: | The high demand for water resources is a challenge to supporting agricultural
production. In this case, irrigation plays a vital role in food security. In general,
the distribution of benefits from irrigation can increase agricultural productivity.
However, there are issues with irrigation, such as differences in benefits received
between Water User Farmers Associations (P3A) in production output and the
water sources that cannot supply the water demands of agricultural land. Irrigation
must benefit all, especially farmers. Therefore, this study aims to explore the
distribution of economic and social development benefits and community-based
management of irrigation. The case studies in this study were in the Cukang
Monteng Irrigation Area, the Rawa Badak Irrigation Area, the Kiaraeunyeuh
Irrigation Area, and the Juntihilir Irrigation Area in Bandung Regency, West Java,
Indonesia. This research is a mixed method research with an experimental design,
using primary and secondary data. This research's analytical methods are
descriptive, multiple linear regression, and content analysis. The results of this
study indicate that irrigation provides benefits in the form of increased production
that is evenly distributed in the case study. However, water distribution has yet to
be distributed relatively because of the shifting technique from upstream to
downstream, so agricultural land far from water sources sometimes gets water
shortages during the dry season. In terms of community participation in the four
study areas, it was found that the community contributed to planning, development,
management, and maintenance. However, there is no additional knowledge from
farmers. Based on the regression analysis results, the variables that influence the
distribution of irrigation benefits are land area, distance to water sources, and type
of irrigation. |
