Tertiary irrigation conveyance systems (watercourses) in the Indus Basin lose 30 to 50 percent of their flow. Watercourse systems were studied in depth by ponding and inflow-outflow methods to determine functional relationships between several measurable parameters and the loss rates. The objective was to determine simple design changes that are low cost and can lead to increased conveyance efficiencies in the eastern channels. Statistical analysis of the collected data indicated that: 1. Watercourse loss rates (lps/100m) increase with, but slightly less than proportional to, the usual flow rate in the channel; 2. Loss rates are lower in more often used channels; 3. Loss rates are higher in elevated channels; 4. Loss rates are very sensitive to changes in flow depths, and thus increase with upward fluctuations in flow rates or roughness coefficients; and 5. Intake rates into upper bank soils are very high and are apparently caused by extensive rodent and insect burrows inside the banks.

This report provides a general background of the Sederhana Irrigation Project and how The High Performance Sederhana Irrigation Project (HPSIS) was conceived and implemented. The seven irrigation systems selected as case studies out of the twenty one sites provides data on the technical and managerial aspects of the project at the local level. The systems included here represents cases for each category of project site as follows. 1. Where both major works and tertiary works are complete: a. Cumanggala, West Java; b. Mencongah, West Nusa Tenggara. 2. Where major works is complete and tertiary works to be constructed: a. Way Awi II, Lampung; b. Kocikang, South Sulawesi; c. Belekere, West Nusa Tenggara. 3. Both major works and tertiary works are to be constructed: a. Muncan, West Nusa Tenggara; b. Tangjung Bataut, West Sumatra The first category of project sites are examples on how a dilapidated and poorly operating system was made into a high performing system through the employment of community organizers. The second category shows how passive attitudes of a government agency to the suggestions of the farmers would affect farmers participation and how these agencies changed attitude during the process. It shows how farmers participated during the design and construction of the irrigation system with full support of the government agencies. The third category of projects are examples of projects where the farmers capability were tested in revising design and constructing the irrigation system.

Four systems of farm-level irrigation management in Indonesia are the Balinese irrigator group subak, the village ditch tender ulu-ulu desa, the canal ditch tender ulu-ulu pembagian, and the more recent Central Javanese water management group dharma tirta. A review of the historical development of these water management systems and recent case studies of each system suggest five factors that influence the effectiveness of farm-level irrigation services: (1) the congruence of the boundaries of irrigation groups, irrigation command areas, and village jurisdictions; (2) coordinated organizational responsibility for irrigation; (3) the nature of village values and leadership and the extent of economic and social disparity within villages; (4) the perception by irrigators of who owns their water supplies; and (5) uniformity in the structure of irrigation organizations and the speed at which they are introduced.
