Abstract :
The S.15 Ka (166 ha) and S.16 Ka (157 ha) fields are part of service area of
Kedungsamak Irrigation Network. Those fields are located in Siti Adi Village,
Purwoharjo Village, and Tuking Gedong Village in Puring Sub-district. Lack of
water happened in those fields especially at growing season II whereas the farmers
rely on their harvest as their main income.
Interview and field observation are done to consider ensure it is truly a
problem. The interview was held on 11th February 2012 with M. Machasin as the
Head of Crop and Horticulture, Agricultural Department, Kebumen, Budijono as
Head of UPTD SDA Kedungsamak, and Kuwatno as the officer in UPTD SDA
Kedungasamak.
By reviewing the existing condition (field work) and comparing it to the
original design, the deviations are found such as water availability, canal slope, and
cracks. From the discussion, the water availability is identified as the root cause.
