The Udayana University Doctoral Engineering Study Program (PSDIT) celebrated the success of its 61st doctoral promotion on Tuesday, December 19 2023. This event took place in the Postgraduate Hall, Postgraduate Building, 3rd Floor, Udayana University, Jl. PB Sudirman Denpasar. Dr. Ir. H. Asep Kurnia Hidayat, M.T, became the promovendus who successfully obtained a doctorate with a dissertation entitled "Dynamic Control in Optimizing Irrigation Water Management Based on Land Failure Risk," and received a very satisfactory title.

In his explanation, Dr. Ir. H. Asep Kurnia Hidayat, M.T revealed that land failure is one of the serious impacts when water availability is smaller than initial estimates. The risk of land failure not only results in a reduction in harvested area, but also has a significant impact on overall rice production. This dissertation carries the concept of redesigning irrigation water management with two optimization models, namely the Linear Program Model and the Land Failure Risk Model. The study results show that under minimum discharge conditions, analysis using the Linear Program Model is not always successful, while the Land Failure Risk Model is able to provide a more adaptive solution.

Prof. Dewa Made Priyantha Wedagama, ST., MT., MSc., Ph.D., PSDIT Coordinator, led the session as chair of the session. Promoter, co-promoter I and II who were involved in guiding Dr. Ir. H. Asep Kurnia Hidayat is Prof. Ir. I Gusti Bagus Sila Dharma, M.T., Ph.D., Dr. Mawiti Infantry Yekti, S.T., M.T, and Dr. Ir. I Gusti Agung Adnyana Putera, DEA. A number of experts in the engineering field participated as support, including Prof. Ir. I Nyoman Arya Thanaya, ME., Ph.D., Prof. Dr. Ir. I Ketut Suamba, M.P., Prof. Dr. I Nyoman Rai, M.S., Prof. Dr. Ir. I Dewa Ketut Sudarsana, M.T., Kadek Diana Harmayani, S.T., M.T., Ph.D. IPM., ASEAN.Eng, and Putu Gustave Suryantara P. S.T., M.Eng., Ph.D.

The academic invitation to witness this event involved Dr. Ir. I Gusti Ngurah Kerta Arsana, MT., Dr. Ir. Yenni Ciawi, and Ir. Silvia Gabrina Tonyes, M.Sc., Ph.D. The success of Dr. Ir. H. Asep Kurnia Hidayat, M.T in defending his dissertation became a valuable contribution to the development of science in the field of dynamic control of irrigation water management.
