Very promising for use in support of food security, with

the prioritize of lowland areas that have been

cultivated by agricultural activities and the area that

has been utilized by the plantation companies if it'spossible, but if not the area should be protected.

the possibility of conducting participatory activities on lowland is quite

large, because farmers in lowland area is landowners farmers and

concern for the infrastructure that was built for irrigation is large

enough, it is different with farmers in Java usually the land is not

owned by the farmers but by an investor for the purpose ofinvestment, so that participatory is less because farmers are

sharecroppers and not the owner of the land, less in sense of

belonging.

Infrastructure support from the Ministry of Public Works to meet the

management of the water system in the lowland area. If there is ashortage of operators, Operations and Maintenance activities can be

done by:

1. Participatory,

2. Tasks (Tugas Pembantuan), or

Condition of Lowlands Irrigation

Collect data to determine the successful water management in

lowlands irrigation; lowlands irrigation infrastructure, irrigation

management institutions and human resources.

Current situation of lowlands irrigation management are:

a. Irrigation infrastructure condition of some irrigation

infrastructure are almost damaged; some are poor of flood control;

some are open drainage system; ground water table is uncontrolled;

tertiary system is inadequate.

b. Water management system Poor Water resources

management in some areas.

c. Institution of water management Need to implementing the

Operation and Maintenance; Provincial and District Irrigation

commission less functional,WUA/WUAs

mostly has not beenformed and works fine.

Condition of Lowlands Irrigation

d. Human resources less in quantity, farmers participation has

not been conducted intensively.

e. Conditions of uneven distribution of agricultural products, as well as

the necessary role of BULOG (Government logistics agency) and

ministries of transportation, agricultural crop storage infrastructure

needs to be improved BULOG authority.

f. Supporting infrastructure in the lowland that have been developed,

such as electricity.

g. Cultivation method Need to educate the farmers about the

good cultivation method.

h. To increase the farmer income BULOG should buy the crops

from the famers with the decent price.

Action Plan

Phase of the improvement of lowlands irrigation

are as follows:

1. Preparation phase, Collecting the data (2013

2014)

2. Trial phase (2014 2016)

3. Implementation phase of partly improvementlowland irrigation (2015 2020)

4. Implementation phase of fully improvement

lowland irrigation (2021 2025)

Project Impact

Not conducted by the project

1. The decrease of lowlands irrigation performances

2. High of carbon emission if in peatland area --> peatdecomposition and Fire

3. The decrease in agricultural productivity

4. Land subsidence --> Permanent flood

5. changes the plant --> from paddy to palm oil

6. Farmers income decrease --> farmers dont have a

passion to do the cultivation.


12/14

Project Impact

Conducted by the project

1. Low of carbon emission (Reduce peat decomposition

and Reduce fire) --> groundwater table should be

high.

2. Reduce land subsidence --> Reduce permanent

floods

3. Better irrigation infrastructure4. lowland irrigation management system are more

effective (running well).

5. Giving contributions to agricultural productions,a ricultural economics, rural econom and national
