Effectiveness of Irrigation Water Distribution System in Enhancing Rice Cropping Index at Subak Padanggalak, Kedewatan Irrigation Area, Bali Ratna Komala Dewi, Nyoman Parining, I Wayan Widyantara ABSTRACT One way that can be done to increase rice production is the expansion of the harvest area by increasing the rice crop index. Irrigation water supply at certain times is increasingly scarce so that proper management of irrigation water by subak is needed to increase agricultural productivity. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the effectiveness of irrigation water distribution systems in Subak Padanggalak, under the Kedewatan Irrigation Area, Bali. The effectiveness parameter of the water distribution system was specified by using the percentage of area covered from water distribution in Subak Padanggalak throughout the year. The results of the analysis show that the water distribution system is useful as it was able to irrigate the all-area Subak Padanggalak throughout the year adequately. The existing rice cropping index is 250%, and the potential index of food crops is 300%.
