Description

1. Necessity of the project

Entering the 1990s the self-sufficiency of rice in Indonesia is facing a crisis. Rice production is quite abnormal and irregular compared with the 1980s. The average unit yield of rice stands stationary in the 1990s. The expansion of irrigation area lost momentum in the 1990s, and the rice import resumed from 1994. Under such situation, the Government has adopted a policy of food security and sustenance of self-sufficiency in rice production.

The crop intensity of paddy fields in Indonesia is as low as 119% that indicates a possibility to expand the harvested area and thereby to increase the rice production through the irrigation development. In 1999, there was about 2.1 million ha of rain-fed paddy fields and 1.17 million ha of upland paddy fields in Indonesia, for which the irrigated agriculture can be efficiently introduced without major problems such as transmigration, large-scale land development, social infrastructures, etc.

In order to promote the food security and sustenance of self-sufficiency in rice production, the government is keen to implement the irrigation development being effective for rice production, quick yielding and cost effective

The primary objective of PTSL-II is to enhance rice production through water resources development such as irrigation projects or pond/dam projects, contributing to the self-sufficiency of rice in Indonesia.

2. Beneficiary Area

Most of the project area is served with the irrigation facilities, but due to the damages of the existing intake facilities, and damages to main system as well, water shortage occurs therefore the basic development constraint is damages to irrigation facilities.

· Irrigated paddy field (village irrigation): 1,195 ha

· Rain-fed paddy field: 1,055 ha

With the project implementation, the principal benefit of the project is as follows:

· Increase of cropping intensity from 167% to 250%

· Increase of unit yield of crop by changing from rain-fed agricultural land to irrigated land

C. Project Area

1. Water resources	The irrigation water for Sapon sub-project is taken from a new construction of intake weir in the Progo River, having a catchment area of 2,357 km²at the weir site. Joint walk through has revealed that heavy sedimentation is found along the canal therefore the existing mechanical sediment removal shall be changed with sediment removal with hydraulic flushing. The average discharge, the maximum, and the minimum (10 days basis) at the intake site are estimated to be 96.95 m³/sec, 244.1 m³/sec and 7.11 m³/sec, respectively. The river discharge is sufficient for the whole Sapon Irrigation Sub-project area of 2,250 ha with a cropping pattern of paddy-paddy (annual cropping intensity of 250%).
2. Land use	The present land use is as shown below. · Irrigated paddy field (village irrigation): 1,195 ha · Rain-fed paddy field: 1,055 ha Tertiary system for rain-fed paddy field of 1,055 ha is required. There is no need of land development because of all paddy fields in the sub-project area. Most of the middle and downstream areas have not received sufficient irrigation water because of damages on the main system therefore rehabilitation is required.
3. Institutional set-up	There are 37 WUAs across 16 villages. These were established and registered in the period of 1990 and 1994. Five (5) WUAs are classified as “developed”, seventeen (17) WUAs are classified as “developing”, and the rest are classified as “underdeveloped”. The implementation of Irrigation Management Reform Policy (PKPI) has not given the expected result therefore O&M of almost all of irrigation facilities are still under the responsibility of the government.
4. Environmental issues	· The existing free intake weir and the existing canal system were constructed in the period of 1979 and 1984 by The Progo River Irrigation Project, therefore no significant problem on land acquisition occurs. · The area in which the works are to be carried out is one that is already used for agriculture. The area is therefore one in which the flora and fauna has adapted to a managed agricultural system. · There is no major negative environmental impact.

Tertiary Canal	ha	-	440

2. Increase of Construction Works

The project scope after design review is not changed substantially from the original. But the work volumes were increased from the following reasons:

(1) Irrigation Canal Works

a. Additional lining of main and secondary canal

The joint walk through was carried out with beneficiaries farmers, the project office staffs, and the Consultant to confirm the improvement requirements of the existing irrigation canals and their related structures. It revealed that the main and secondary canals in some parts are heavily damaged therefore additional canal lining were required.

b. New tertiary canal construction at the tail end area

In the original project scope, no tertiary canal was included. At the tail end area, there is no tertiary canal. Farmers in this area strongly requested the construction of tertiary canals for 440 ha.

(2) Intake Weir

a. Necessity of the flood dyke in the upstream of the weir

The design flood discharge of the intake weir was reviewed and revised to 2,520 m³/sec (from 1,950 m³/sec) which necessitated the new flood protection dike in the upstream of the weir.

b. Foundation piles due to weak foundation of the weir

The additional geological investigations revealed the soft foundation which requires pile foundation.

c. Improvement of settling basin to enable hydraulic flushing of the sediments

The existing settling basin is facing the problems of removal of the sediments for which the sediment removal was planned by mechanical means. With provision of wear, the settling basin is improved with the introduction of a hydraulically automatic flushing system to save O&M cost.

d. Provision of foot-path bridge over the weir

According to the villagers’ request made in the public consultation meeting, the foot-path bridge over the weir (width 2.00 m) is provided.

Although the project scope is approximately the same, the above mentioned conditions lead to the large increase of work volumes and construction cost.

E. Implementation Schedule

The implementation schedule of the project is presented as follows:

(1) The civil work of the main irrigation system and tertiary canal system will commence in February 2005 and be completed in July 2007 for a construction period of 30 months.
