The governments policy in the food sector is to achieve food self-sufficiency in the context of national food security, whose priority is in the form of partiality to farmers to improve welfare. This policy cannot be felt yet by the farmers who live in Tayuban village, Panjatan Subdistrict, Kulonprogo Regency, because there are still obstacles in its implementation. The problem faced by farmers in this village in increasing crop production is the lack of availability of water sources for irrigating secondary crops, especially in the dry season. The lack of water availability causes plant productivity to be low, so that farmers income is low. To overcome the problem of water shortages, a surface geological survey was carried out as a preliminary study to find out the watershed (DAS) and identify the hydrogeological system of the study area. Based on watershed and hydrogeological systems data, in turn engineering can be carried out to meet water supply for irrigated agricultural land.
