Abstract

This study evaluates whether Irrigation Service Agreement (ISA) commitments remain physically deliverable under seasonal water scarcity and canal deterioration in the Pamukkulu Irrigation Area, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. A descriptive quantitative design combined farmer questionnaires, field observations, and a 72-period five-day SIPASI water-balance series across six SCADA-supported secondary-canal service units covering 2,885 ha; the September–October 2026 periods were treated as planning projections rather than realized observations. Service performance was assessed through equity, adequacy, and reliability, while principal survey proportions were summarized with Wilson 95% confidence intervals. Mean intake requirement was 4,796.8 L s−1, whereas mean available discharge was 2,380.6 L s−1, equivalent to 49.6% of requirement. The mean K factor was 0.47; full-service conditions were identified in 19 of 72 periods, while severe-deficit conditions were identified in 31 periods. For the projected 1–11 September 2026 periods, available flow covered only 1.4–2.0% of intake demand. Farmers identified leakage as the dominant loss mechanism (72.7%), secondary canals as the highest-loss segment (60.6%), and downstream shortage as the main consequence (51.5%). The results support K-triggered scarcity rules, targeted secondary-canal maintenance, and tighter operational linkage among ISA, SIPASI, SCADA, and P3A.
