Abstract

Increasing of population spurs the increase for foods and shelters requirement. Agricultural extensification on non-tidal lowlands or swampland, especially in South Sumatra, should be done in order to fulfill yearly increase for foods requirement. However, swampland frequently had been changed into non-agricultural usages such as for settlement and office areas. Moreover, the decrease of land and water resources quality had occurred due to climatic change such as El Nino (drieness) and EL Nina (flood). The hotter temperature and uncertain seasonal change results in planting and harvesting failures, diseases outbreak and agricultural land degradation. Swampland can be utilized by using optimum water management method. This paper has an objective to give overview in term of strategic alternative and opportunity of water management technology and irrigation system as an adaptation toward climate change in South Sumatra. The method used in this paper was literatures review and secondary data from several studies related to non-tidal lowland or swampland. The conclusion from this paper were as follows : 1). Water management strategy in swampland can be conducted by using several technological alternatives and irrigation system taken into account swampland characteristics and soil properties as well as topography in this area; 2). Water management was conducted by controlling water table depth that can be determined from hydrological, climatological and water requirement aspects. By considering these perspectives, water management on swampland can adapt to the climatic change
