Abstract

Farmers are key stakeholders in agricultural water management. Work collectively in water users association (WUA), they are responsible for conducting and financing the operation and maintenance (OM) of tidal irrigation at tertiary level to complement government responsibility at secondary and primary levels. In order to properly finance the OM, a participatory cost assessment of water service is considerably needed. The study aimed at assessing the cost of agricultural water service through a participatory approach in Telang Delta, the rice production center for tidal lowlands of South Sumatra, Indonesia. The study results in three cost estimates for agricultural water service, namely the supply cost, the economic cost, and the full cost. Three estimates for water service fee (WSF) are also derived for water users to contribute in financing the OM of tidal irrigation. The study suggests that the collection and management of WSF be handed to WUA.
