The Pandrah Irrigation Area is a technical irrigation network whose water source comes from the Krueng Pandrah river. Pandrah Weir was built in 1987 located in Samagadeng Village, Pandrah District, Bireuen Regency. It has an area of 1,203 hectares of irrigated rice fields. In its development, the damage that occurs in the Pandrah irrigation area also cannot be ignored. It is necessary to review it by assessing the performance of the irrigation system. The purpose of this study was to determine the performance index of the Pandrah irrigation system using the MASSCOTE (Mapping System and Service for Canal Operation Technique) method approach. The assessment of the performance index of the Pandrah irrigation system using the MASSCOTE method approach is carried out by evaluating the Rapid Appraisal Procedure (RAP) on four main indicators, namely service indicators, indicators for Farmers Using Water (P3A), indicators for the operator's Human Resources (HR). In the evaluation of the RAP, it is the value of observations of the respondents of OP officers and P3A farmers who are presented in a questionnaire to cross-assess each respondent in irrigation management. The results of the research on the performance appraisal of the Pandrah irrigation system based on the MASSCOTE method with RAP evaluation showed that the performance index of the absolute value (Level of Service) was 3.05. Hence, the performance index of the Pandrah irrigation system in the existing conditions was in the Good classification. This index and classification value shows the value of irrigation operations in fulfilling services from irrigation management carried out by operators / OP officers and felt by irrigation service beneficiaries, namely P3A farmers.
Pandrah Weir, built-in 1987, serves the Pandrah Technical Irrigation Area in Bireuen District, Aceh Province, with an area of 1.203 Ha. Its old infrastructure has experienced various damage that can decrease the irrigation system performance. The Pandrah irrigation system's previous performance assessment by both the MASSCOTE approach and Rapid Appraisal Procedure (RAP) evaluation suggested a service level of 3.05 (useful classification). This study assessed the effect of the variables on the Pandrah irrigation system's performance with Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) operated by the AMOS program. The four leading indicators were irrigation service, Water User Farmers Association (P3A), operator Human Resources (H.R.), and irrigation operation modernization. The refinement of irrigation system performance analysis using SEM showed that results of the four irrigation system performance indicators, namely: 0.082 (p=0.768), 0.090 (p=0.273), 0.419 (p=0.287), and 0.606 (p=0.039) for irrigation service, P3A indicator, irrigation operation modernization, and H.R. respectively. Based on the evaluation of the four indicators of irrigation system performance, it is concluded that the Pandrah irrigation system's performance is good. This performance assessment provides a clear picture of irrigation water services, H.R., P3A being an initial assessment for priorities, planning, and scheduling to start modernization programs for irrigation system operations. Irrigation modernization aims to facilitate the operation and maintenance by improving the irrigation system. This modernization means that irrigation planning, irrigation operation, maintenance, and monitoring systems have been carefully calculated before proposing a new irrigation network. The success of monitoring activities requires the use of information technology.
