Abstract

The study aimed to determine the channel efficiency and water requirements of existing irrigation of Cubo in Pidie Jaya District, Indonesia. The descriptive method is used in the research by observing the efficiency of primary and secondary channels. The average channel efficiency value is used to estimate irrigation water requirements. The results showed the efficiency of the primary channel is 59.41%, the efficiency of the secondary channel is 56.04%, and the average channel efficiency is 57.73 %. Net farm requirement (NFR) is 1.04 l/s/ha, diversion requirement (DR) is 1.81 l/s/ha and irrigation water requirement of 1,090 ha is 1.97 m3/s. When compared with channel efficiency in general, channel efficiency in this irrigation area is relatively low due to lack of maintenance of channels and the presence of water losses due to illegal tapping of water.
