Integrated water resources management in the Bukian irrigation area at Badung Regency

Abstract

Management of Water Resources in order to meet the needs of living things is very important. Management of Water Resources that is not integrated will cause various problems, including drought, conflicts of interest between water users. The Bukian Irrigation Area is an irrigation area that utilizes surface water for its agricultural activities. Currently the Bukian Irrigation Area obtains irrigation water from the Bukian I weir and Bukian II weir as a supply weir to increase the need for water discharge required in the irrigation area. In the utilization of surface water that is used to meet irrigation needs at this time less attention is paid to a good water management system, such as a lack of control over water use. Water management can be carried out properly if the condition of the water balance in the system is known. Related to this, additional discharge and integrated water management are needed to avoid conflicts of interest between water users. The method in this study is a quantitative analysis with the mainstay discharge variable in the Bukian I and II weirs and irrigation water demand based on the existing cropping pattern.&nbsp
