This document discusses techniques for irrigation and flood prevention in Indonesia. It provides background on the long history of irrigation channel building and its importance for agriculture. It then discusses how proper drainage and disposal of water is needed to prevent overflow and flooding. Some effective ways to address flooding mentioned include regularly cleaning drains, construction of flood prevention infrastructure, river deepening projects, planting trees, and making biopori holes. Finally, it notes that good technical design of irrigation canals is not enough without proper ongoing use and maintenance.

- Sukron Mamum - Tris Lukman Syafii - Basri Bin Akil THE TECHNIQUES IRRIGATION TO PREVENT FLOOD DISASTER Background of the study The building and an irrigation channel has been know since the long time ago before Masehi. It can prove through historical heritage by the history of national or the history of the world. Indonesia is an agriculture country, where agriculture is a priority first. The channel irrigation as supporters of the provision of food a national of course very important. So the availability of water in the field can still full enough even though the land away from any source of surface water. Water is affected by gravity, so water can be flow through channels water by naturally to a lower. But the water varies a great deal depends on the location and season. The availability of water in the tropics (near to the Equator) is very large compared with other areas such as the desert and the desert. Create good drainage on the need for an irrigation system until final disposal obvious, not until the end of the existing water lines culminate in a river that is dead, or does not flow so that the water will overflow and cause flooding . The island nation is very vulnerable to an increase in sea water and storm , Indonesia is among countries that are very vulnerable , and therefore in need of effective ways to address the problem of flooding . The benefits of irrigation : To drain water to the various aspects of the needs for example : irrigate agricultural land and can also be used for farm. To moisten the soil, i.e. wetting the soil in areas that are less annual precipitation totals or erratic. To fertilize the soil, with the flow water containing sludge and substances nutrient fertilizer plant on agriculture areas, so that the land became fertile. To help travel water in order to avoid the occurrence of inundation and accelerate the rate of water back to the river and ended up in the ocean. Rinse the dirty water. Set the temperature of the soil. The effective ways to solve the flooding
Diligent cleaning drains.
Building / construction of flood prevention. River deepening project. Planting trees preserving forests. Making biopori holes. The calculating of good technically is not enough to support if it is not balanced with the using and good maintenance for canal. THANK YOU
