Abstract

Climate change poses a significant threat to water security, particularly for agricultural irrigation systems in monsoon-dependent regions. This study assesses the impact of climate change on irrigation water availability in the Pante Lhong Irrigation Area (DI Pante Lhong), Peusangan Watershed, Bireuen Regency, Aceh. Using a mixed-methods approach, the research analyzed decadal climate data (2014–2024) from the Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency (BMKG), field measurements of river discharge, and interviews with farmers and irrigation officials. Results indicate a significant declining trend in annual rainfall (~-2.8% per year) and a consistent increase in maximum temperature (~+0.16°C per year). These changes have led to a substantial reduction in the reliable discharge (Q80) of the Peusangan River, particularly during the dry season (July-October), with decreases of up to 29%. A monthly water balance analysis projected a chronic water deficit for seven months (April-October), with the peak deficit in August (7.7 million m³), indicating that available water can meet only about 30% of irrigation demand during critical periods. The study concludes that climate change severely threatens the sustainability of rice farming in the region. Recommended adaptation strategies include infrastructure modernization, crop diversification, and strengthened water user institutions to enhance climate resilience.

Abstract

The escalating frequency and intensity of climate-induced extreme weather events present a critical challenge to the durability and functionality of road infrastructure, particularly in vulnerable tropical regions. This study provides a comprehensive analysis of the impacts of climate change on road infrastructure resilience in Bireuen Regency, Aceh, Indonesia. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the research integrates historical climate data (2015-2023) from the Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency (BMKG), field survey data on road damage, and questionnaire responses from key stakeholders, including road users and local government officials. The findings reveal a statistically significant upward trend in extreme rainfall events, which correlates strongly with the prevalence of specific road damage modalities, predominantly potholes (45%) and crocodile cracking (30%). A thorough assessment of the road network condition indicates that only 51.19% is classified as being in good condition, with a substantial 42.46% suffering from light to severe damage, underscoring a high degree of climate vulnerability. The study concludes that a multifaceted adaptation strategy is imperative. Key recommendations include the urgent enhancement of drainage systems, the adoption of climate-resilient construction materials, the implementation of GIS-based hazard zoning, and the strict application of sustainable road management standards as outlined in national regulations. This research offers valuable evidence-based insights for policymakers and engineers aiming to bolster the climate resilience of critical infrastructure in disaster-prone areas.
