This study aims to analyze the factors influencing paddy production with an irrigation system in Indrapuri District, Aceh Besar Regency, to determine the impact of irrigation on paddy farming production, and to calculate the income of farmers using irrigation in the Krueng Jreu Sub-watershed. The research method used is a survey method with cluster sampling technique, involving 39 farmer respondents from six villages selected based on their distance from the irrigation canal (near, medium, and far). The data collected consists of primary data obtained thru interviews and questionnaires, as well as secondary data from relevant institutions. Data analysis used a Likert scale to measure farmers' perceptions and multiple linear regression to test the influence of production factors (land area, seed quantity, fertilizer, pesticides, and labor) on paddy production. The research results indicate that irrigation plays an important role in increasing paddy rice production, with adequate water availability having a positive impact on the use of production inputs and harvest yields. Multiple linear regression tests show that the variables of land area, seeds, fertilizer, pesticides, and labor significantly affect production. The average income of farmers utilizing irrigation in the Krueng Jreu Sub-watershed also increased as productivity improved.
