| Abstract | This study is attempt to develop a methodology for assessing environmental
impacts in large irrigation systems. The Progo Irrigation System has been taken
as the project under consideration.
This method was developed based upon the existing methods proposed by
International Commission on Irrigation and Drainage, the Government of Indonesia
and field observation.
This developed method can be considered as a tool to irrigation staff,
planners, and impact assessors with non-specialist in environmental science in
identifying and anticipated at an early stage that adverse environmental effects
and, if possible avoided or controlled. This proposed method can also be used to
assess the environmental effects of a new or existing irrigation systems before
the formal environmental impact assessment. The method consider the tertiary
unit in an irrigation system and the water balance in each tertiary unit.
The method was applied to the Progo Irrigation System in Indonesia, this
method appears to give satisfactory results. From the field observations, it can
be concluded that the irrigation systems over a period of a time cause several
environmental effects. These effects could vary from system to system and also
within the system from location to location. |
