Application of Asset Management in the Management of Irrigation Areas in the Salaman Technical Implementation Unit

Abstract

One of the main factors for supportingdevelopment in the agricultural sector is the irrigation infrastructure management. Infrastructure is essential because it is a basicprerequisite for development and growthandrequires very large costs. Therefore, the infrastructure must be managed properly according to Asset Management principles. This study aims to implement asset management in the management of Irrigation Area in the Salaman Technical Implementation Unit(UPT). The irrigation assets in question are the physical infrastructure of irrigation networks. This study requires an inventory of data on irrigation network which is used as input in analyzing the performance appraisal of irrigation assets. The assessment of the Irrigation Area Performance index is carried out through the weighting of each component according to the technical instructions set by the government. While the evaluation is carried out by determining priorities and types of handling irrigation areas through ranking and classification of aset condition index value. The evaluation show that 3 (three) Irrigation Areas get a condition index value of ≤60 (poor). The three irrigation areas are MA Depok, DI Pakem I, and MA Mudal. MA Depok is an irrigation area that is the first priority for treatment in the form of rehabilitation.
