<span><em>Damage to irrigation areas in Indonesia covering an area of 0.37 million hectares for severe damage and </em><span><em>an area of 1.25 million hectares for moderate and mild damage, has an impact on Indonesia's ability in </em><span><em>rice production; rice imports were almost half a century, and only the adequacy of rice was 2 X, i.e. 1984 </em><span><em>and 2009. This was due to low irrigation services which resulted in less optimal carrying capacity of food </em><span><em>security. The deterioration in the function of irrigation services can be grouped into 5 causes of low </em><span><em>irrigation pillars, namely: vulnerability of water sources, lack of irrigation infrastructure, low irrigation</em><br /><span><em>water management, weak management institutions, and low human resources. The cause will be eliminated </em><span><em>by the irrigation modernization program by working on these five pillars. One of the pillars in the </em><span><em>modernization of irrigation that needs to be improved is the irrigation management system. The purpose of</em><br /><span><em>this paper is to contribute ideas in improving the irrigation management system in Indonesia. The author </em><span><em>has conducted observations and research on several irrigation areas, both the authority of the Central, </em><span><em>Provincial and District Governments, especially visits to DI Wadaslintang, Central Java and DI </em><span><em>Bondoyudo, East Java concerning irrigation water management systems. What stands out is the low level </em><span><em>of irrigation services due to the inefficient irrigation water management system in Indonesia, in addition to </em><span><em>the nature of service-based provision and not service-oriented based on farmers' needs. Identification was</em><span><em>carried out on the DI to find out the reasons for the low irrigation water management system, namely: </em><span><em>orientation to water supply, calculation of irrigation requirements, water allocation method, irrigation</em><br /><span><em>water distribution schedule, irrigation water loss, irrigation operational steps, irrigation water </em><span><em>productivity measurement This study analyzes the factors causing the low irrigation water management </em><span><em>system while making a formula for the improvement proposal in the form of 7 steps.</em></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br /><br class="Apple-interchange-newline" /></span>

In this study, an integrated agricultural water management system based on interval mixed two-stage stochastic programming (ITSP) has been applied to the long-term planning of water management activities in Yongxin County, Jiangxi Province, China. A conjunctive use of water system is structured for characterizing the developed model. The model can effectively reflect dynamic, interactive, and uncertain characteristics of the water management system in the area. Solutions of the model provide optimal water allocation patterns for decision makers. The results are helpful to address the conflicts existing between the water resources and socio-economic development.

Due to extreme water scarcity Jordan is integrating reclaimed water resources in the national water management system. This paper describes the recent framework conditions for reclaimed water use in agriculture in Jordan, with a focus on the central and southern Jordan Valley. The possible impacts of lower quality irrigation water on soil, groundwater, crops and human health are considered while appropriate guidelines and monitoring proposals are being developed. Testing of the guidelines and implementation of the monitoring systems have started with the final purpose of integrating them into the Jordanian standard and legal system and thus ensuring safe food for consumers and protection of the environment.

The history and water-related features in the Poblet Cistercian Monastery, located in Tarragona province, Spain are described. The study is undertaken with the main purpose of obtaining data for the establishment of an integrated water management system inside the walls of the abbey, which is suffering water scarcity due to increasing demands and the prevalent semiarid conditions.

AbstractThe southern Lowland Maya hilltop center of Kinal is shown to be a human-modified watershed. The broad paved surfaces of the elevated central precinct acted as runoff-catchment areas directing precipitation into gravity-fed channels and reservoirs. In a geographical zone affected by an extended dry season and away from permanent water sources, Kinal demonstrates the components of a rainfall-dependent water-management system characteristic of other large sites in the region.
