Keuliling Reservoir which is located in Kuta Cot Glie, Aceh Besar is one of the reservoirs that have a function as a provider of water for irrigation needs, supports food self-sufficiency programs and others. The reservoir area has limited volume of water so, the most important water-saving irrigation water should be done to determine the scheduling of the distribution of irrigation water to the area of rice fields. The purpose of this research is to develop a method that can be used to the calculation of scheduling and can be applied to the irrigation of the Keuliling Reservoir watershed in Aceh Besar. In this study, the Genetic Algorithm method was used to determine the optimization of the Keuliling Reservoir in the Aceh Besar. From the analysis that has been done, by test of the Genetic Algorithm method, the minimum optimization of the time and discharge of irrigation water is obtained. While the visualization of these results can be displayed using the Matlab GUI software. The remaining disposal of irrigation water into the Keumireu watershed at one hour of irrigation has the minimum value of 600 Liters / Hour. The best irrigation time obtained is based on the calculation of 72 Genetic Algorithm methods in which the amount of water entering the rice field area is 1,038,211,600 Liters and 257,788,400 Wasted in the river. Based on the results of testing the application of the Keuliling Reservoir watershed irrigation scheduling in Aceh Besar that was built with Genetic Algorithms can solve optimal scheduling problems.
