Evaluasi kinerja sistem irigasi pasca rehabilitasi sangat diperlukan untuk menjamin keberlanjutan pelayanan air pertanian yang andal dan efisien. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi kinerja Daerah Irigasi (D.I.) Rawa Keutengga seluas 3.049 hektare di Kabupaten Aceh Timur dan Kota Langsa, serta mengkaji tingkat penerapan prinsip pengelolaan irigasi berdasarkan Peraturan Menteri PUPR Nomor 12/PRT/M/2015 tentang Eksploitasi dan Pemeliharaan Jaringan Irigasi. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan metode Rapid Assessment (RAM) untuk penilaian kondisi fisik jaringan, serta pengumpulan data primer melalui kuesioner terstruktur terhadap 28 responden terpilih (purposive sampling) yang terdiri dari pengelola jaringan, petugas operasi dan pemeliharaan, serta perwakilan petani. Analisis data dilakukan menggunakan Uji Friedman untuk mengidentifikasi perbedaan signifikan antar faktor kinerja, dan Uji Korelasi Spearman untuk menganalisis keterkaitan antar variabel. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sistem irigasi pasca rehabilitasi belum menunjukkan kinerja yang merata pada seluruh komponennya. Uji Friedman mengindikasikan adanya perbedaan yang signifikan secara statistik antar faktor penilaian (χ² hitung = 172,92 > χ² tabel = 11,07), dengan tingkat permasalahan tertinggi pada aspek pengetahuan teknis pengelola dan kinerja operasional, sedangkan kondisi fisik bendung relatif lebih baik. Meskipun ketersediaan air secara neraca masih mencukupi, efektivitas distribusi di lapangan masih terhambat oleh kondisi infrastruktur, khususnya pada bangunan sadap dan saluran primer. Disimpulkan bahwa penerapan standar Permen PUPR tersebut belum sepenuhnya optimal. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan penguatan sistem operasi dan pemeliharaan berbasis neraca air, peningkatan kapasitas sumber daya manusia, rehabilitasi infrastruktur prioritas, serta integrasi teknologi pemantauan digital untuk meningkatkan kinerja irigasi secara berkelanjutan.

Post-rehabilitation irrigation system performance evaluation is essential to ensure the sustainability of reliable and efficient agricultural water services. This study aims to evaluate the performance of the Rawa Keutengga Irrigation Area (D.I.), covering 3,049 hectares in East Aceh Regency and Langsa City, and to assess the level of implementation of irrigation management principles based on the Regulation of the Minister of Public Works and Housing (PUPR) No. 12/PRT/M/2015 concerning the Operation and Maintenance of Irrigation Networks. This research employs a quantitative approach using the Rapid Assessment Method (RAM) to evaluate the physical condition of the network, alongside primary data collection through structured questionnaires distributed to 28 purposively sampled respondents, including network managers, operation and maintenance officers, and farmer representatives. Data analysis was conducted using the Friedman Test to identify significant differences among performance factors, and the Spearman Correlation Test to analyze the interrelationships between variables. The results indicate that the post-rehabilitation irrigation system has not yet demonstrated uniform performance across all its components. The Friedman Test revealed statistically significant differences among the assessment factors (χ² calculated = 172.92 > χ² table = 11.07), with the highest level of issues found in the technical knowledge of the managers and operational performance, whereas the physical condition of the weir remains relatively better. Although water availability generally meets the agricultural water balance requirements, the effectiveness of field distribution is still hindered by infrastructure conditions, particularly at the intake structures and primary canals. It is concluded that the implementation of the PUPR Regulation standards is not yet fully optimal. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the operation and maintenance system based on water balance, enhance human resource capacity, rehabilitate priority infrastructure, and integrate digital monitoring technology to improve irrigation performance sustainably..
