Indonesia is expanding its “Clean Irrigation” movement nationwide, spearheaded by the Public Works Ministry and its river basin organizations. The initiative aims to bolster national food security by optimizing irrigation systems and ensuring water resource sustainability. This expansion involves clearing irrigation channels of sediment and waste, improving water management practices, and promoting community involvement in maintaining these vital resources. Officials believe cleaner irrigation leads to more efficient water distribution, increased agricultural productivity, and ultimately, a more secure food supply. The program focuses on rehabilitating existing infrastructure and preventing future blockages, reducing the risk of crop failure due to water scarcity. The Ministry anticipates a positive impact on farmers’ yields and a strengthened national agricultural sector as a result of the expanded Clean Irrigation Movement. This initiative underscores Indonesia's commitment to achieving self-sufficiency in food production.
