Abstract

Based on the survey results in 13 irrigation systems representing the Northern, Central and Southern regions, the article shows evaluation of the status of water environment management (WEM) in the irrigation system, including: management capacity, financial resources, management documents, implementation activities such as monitoring and forecasting of water quality and irrigation operation to reduce water pollution, renovating and constructing new irrigation drainage works to improve environmental flow, managing waste, and controlling permission for discharge of wastewater into the irrigation system. The shortcomings in WEM in the irrigation system are causing the current water pollution situation and the trend is increasing. WEM in irrigation systems requires the participation of the whole political system, and the Agriculture and Rural Development sector should considere this a priority because unresolved water pollution will affect the sustainable agricultural development goals, affecting people and economic sectors.
