Global Map of Irrigation Areas

Indonesia
The irrigated area of 88 basins of the country totals 4 459 000 ha [ID01]. The figures refer to
1990 but they are in good agreement with the area equipped for irrigation in 1996
(4 427 922 ha) as reported in the AQUASTAT country profile [ID02]. About 65 percent of the
irrigated area is located on the island of Java.

No map of irrigated areas in Indonesia was available. Therefore, rice fields were digitized from a
land-use map (scale: 1:2 500 000) [ID03]. In some basins, the area of digitized rice fields was
smaller than the reported irrigated area. In these cases, areas classified as lowland cultivation
and highland cultivation were also incorporated, and wet rice fields were digitized from another
land-use map [ID04].

The distribution of irrigated area by sub-national unit is listed in the table below.
