In Indonesia, irrigation is managed at three levels: the national and provincial level which handles large schemes and primary canal systems (from 1,000 to 3,000 ha), and the district level that manages smaller schemes (<1,000 ha). Schemes that are smaller than this are called “tertiary”. TIRTA focusses exclusively at the tertiary irrigation level, where some of the systemic failures are most evident. The geographic area covered by TIRTA in this phase is East Java – specifically Tuban, Bojonegoro and Lamongan.
