| Abstract | In many countries, including Indonesia, the governments are reducing their roles in irrigation management through Irrigation Management Transfer. One reason to justify the program is the improvement in the irrigation performance since farmer-managed irrigation system usually performs well. This study aims to assess the performance of an irrigation system before and after the transfer to explore the impacts of IMT on irrigation performance. The indicators employed in this study are physical indicators, which consist of physical condition and serviceability, efficiency, and adequacy; and economic indicators, which consist of agricultural productivity and farmer income. The study has been conducted in Papah Irrigation System, Indonesia. Primary and secondary data was taken and analyzed for before and after IMT. The result shows minor improvement of water delivery performance as well as economic performance. The overall efficiency for the first and second planting season, which ranges from 0.1 to 0.49, is considered as low. The adequacy reflected from RWS, which ranges from 1 to 3 and RIS more than 2, indicates that the system has relatively abundant water supply. However, R WS and RIS in tertiary level indicate that losses mostly occur along the main system. Despite the success in conducting routine maintenance, the indicators of physical condition reveals that system maintenance by farmers is insufficient. The economic productivity, on the other hand, follows the physical trend. SGVP per unit area are 715 US $/ha and 620 US $/ha for before and after IMT respectively, while SGVP per unit water delivery are 0.08 US $/m3 and 0.07 US$ /m3 respectively. However, this indicator is found to be comparable with previous studies reported in the literature. |
