Sumber daya air memiliki peran yang besar bagi sektor pertanian. Air sebagai renewable resources digunakan untuk memenuhi produksi pertanian. Peningkatan produktivitas air pertanian memiliki peran yang penting dalam menghadapi kelangkaan dan kopetisi penggunaan sumber daya air, pencegahan terhadap kerusakan lingkungan dan ketahanan pangan. Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk melihat bagaimana kuantitas dan produktivitas sumber daya air pertanian di Indonesia secara umum. Berdasarkan data luas pertanian Indonesia tahun 2009-2013, luas sawah irigasi di Indonesia mencapai 4,81 juta Ha setara dengan laju peningkatan 9%. Apabila sawah irigasi ini dibandingkan dengan luas baku irigasi sebesar 12.335.832 Ha, maka persentase sawah irigasi hanya sekitar 38%, kondisi ini menggambarkan bahwa pemanfaatan air irigasi masih relatif rendah. Dilihat dari hasil data ketersedian air yang ada di 7 pulau-pulau besar yang ada di Indonesia Pulau Jawa mengalami permasalahan paling tinggi  dimana terlihat dari tingginya tingkat kebutuhan air tidak sebanding dengan ketersediaan air yang ada, sehingga akan berdampak kepada ketahanan pangan dan juga kondisi kesejahteraan masyarakat khususnya petani, dengan hal tersebut ada strategi dalam  dalam upaya peningkatan  penyediaan air dan produktivitas air yaitu dengan cara konservasi ekosistem hidrologis daerah aliran sungai (DAS), peningkatan efisiensi pemanfaatan air pertanian, redistribusi aset infrastruktur irigasi dengan mekanisme pendanaan dan insentif yang sesuai serta adanya harmonisasi antar sektor dan wilayahsetempat dalam pengelolaan sumber daya air pertanian.Water resources have a large role for the agricultural sector. Water as renewable resources is used to fulfill agricultural production. Increasing productivity of agricultural water has an important role in dealing with scarcity and competition in the use of water resources, prevention of environmental damage and food security. This paper aims to have a general view of quantity of agricultural water resources in Indonesia. Based on data on Indonesia's agricultural area in the year 2009-2013, irrigated paddy fields in Indonesia reached 4.81 million Ha, equivalent to the rate of 9% increase. If this irrigated rice field is compared to the irrigated raw area of 12,335,832 Ha, then the percentage of irrigated paddy fields is only around 38%, this condition illustrates that the utilization of irrigation water is still relatively low. Judging from the results of water availability data in 7 major islands in Indonesia that Java Island experiences the highest problems, which can be seen from the high level of water demand that is not proportional to the availability of water, so that it will affect food security and the condition of community welfare especially farmers, with this in mind there is an inner strategy in an effort to increase water supply and water productivity, namely by conserving watershed hydrological ecosystems , increasing efficiency of agricultural water utilization, redistributing irrigation infrastructure assets with appropriate funding mechanisms and incentives and harmonizing between sectors and regions in the management of agricultural water resources.

PurposeTechnology acceptance is a measure of that technology’s usefulness. Oil palm is one of the biggest contributors to Indonesia’s revenues, thus fueling its economy. Using remote sensing would allow a plantation to monitor and forecast its production and the amount of fertilizer used. This review aims to provide a policy recommendation in the form of a strategy to improve the added value of Indonesia’s oil palm and support the government in increasing oil palm production. This recommendation needs to be formulated by determining the users’ acceptance of remote sensing technology (state-owned plantations, private plantation companies and smallholder plantations).Design/methodology/approachThis review’s methodology used sentiment analysis through text mining (bag of words model). The study’s primary data were from focus group discussions (FGDs), questionnaires, observations on participants, audio-visual documentation and focused discussions based on group category. The results of interviews and FGDs were transcribed into text and analyzed to 1) find words that can represent the content of the document; 2) classify and determine the frequency (word cloud); and finally 3) analyze the sentiment.FindingsThe result showed that private plantation companies and state-owned plantations had extremely high positive sentiments toward using remote sensing in their oil palm plantations, whereas smallholders had a 60% resistance. However, there is still a possibility for this technology’s adoption by smallholders, provided it is free and easily applied.Research limitations/implicationsBasically, technology is applied to make work easier. However, not everyone is tech-savvy, especially the older generations. One dimension of technology acceptance is user/customer retention. New technology would not be immediately accepted, but there would be user perceptions about its uses and ease. At first, people might be reluctant to accept a new technology due to the perception that it is useless and difficult. Technology acceptance is the gauge of how useful technology is in making work easier compared to conventional ways.Practical implicationsTherefore, technology acceptance needs to be improved among smallholders by intensively socializing the policies, and through dissemination and dedication by academics and the government.Social implicationsThe social implications of using technology are reducing the workforce, but the company will be more profitable and efficient.Originality/valueRemote sensing is one of the topics that people have not taken up in a large way, especially sentiment analysis. Acceptance of technology that utilizes remote sensing for plantations is very useful and efficient. In the end, company profits can be allocated more toward empowering the community and the environment.
