Perancangan Penggunaan Air Sungai Ciapus untuk Menyuplai Air Irigasi di Persemaian Permanen Dramaga Bogor

Abstract

Air dan sistem penyiraman sangat berdampak dalam produksi bibit berkualitas di persemaian permanen. Persemaian Permanen Dramaga menggunakan dua sumur resapan yang diisi oleh air hujan, saat musim kemarau terjadi kekurangan air. Air sungai Ciapus dapat dimanfaatkan dengan menggunakan pompa hidram. Oleh karena itu, perlu dirancang bak penampung yang dapat menyimpan sementara air dari pompa dan menyuplai air secara kontinu. Penelitian ini bertujuan menentukan kebutuhan air irigasi, serta menentukan kapasitas dan menghasilkan rancangan bak penampung air di lokasi penelitian. Kebutuhan air diperoleh berdasarkan nilai defisit pada neraca air antara laju evapotranspirasi dengan laju curah hujan. Defisit air rata-rata pada periode kemarau tahun 2015 merupakan nilai yang tertinggi selama tahun 2003-2020, yakni sebesar 2,63 mm/hari. Berdasarkan nilai tersebut diperoleh kebutuhan air irigasi sebesar 15,78 m3/hari untuk lahan seluas 0,60 ha. Debit pemompaan berpotensi mengisi bak penampung selama waktu penyiraman. Kapasitas bak penampung didesain setengah dari kebutuhan air harian, yakni 7,89 m3, dan dibulatkan menjadi 8 m3. Bak penampung direncanakan menggunakan bahan panel fiberglass. Ukuran panjang, lebar dan tinggi bak penampung masing-masing sebesar 2 m.

Water and irrigation systems have a major impact on the production of quality seedlings in permanent nurseries. The Dramaga Permanent Nursery uses two infiltration wells filled by rainwater, during dry season there is a shortage of water. Ciapus river water can be utilized by using a hydraulic ram pump. Therefore, it is necessary to design a reservoir to temporarily store water from the pump and to supply water continuously. The research aimed to determine the need for irrigation water, determine the capacity and produce a water reservoir design at the research site.Water requirement was obtained based on the deficit value in the water balance between evapotranspiration rate and rainfall rate. The average water deficit in the dry season in 2015 was the highest value during 2003-2020, which was 2,63 mm/day. Based on this value, the irrigation water requirement was 15,78 m3/day for an area of 0,60 ha. The pumping discharge had the potential to fill the reservoir during watering time. The designed reservoir capacity was half of the daily water requirement, which was 7,89 m3, and fulfilled to 8 m3. The reservoir was planned to use fiberglass panel material. The length, width, and height of the reservoir were 2 m each.
