    The irrigation water management system is critical in achieving efficient water resource consumption. Service-oriented water management system for irrigation has been implemented in Indonesia. However, the system has not yet reached paddy farming sustainability. Thus, this study aimed to address three objectives, firstly, to identify and determine the important factors that influence success in crop water management system; secondly, to identify and determine the important factors that influence success in paddy farming sustainability; and thirdly to develop a structural model of agriculture water management with key indicators for paddy farming sustainability. The study employed quantitative data collection and analysis methods via structural equation modelling. Relating to the factors influencing the success of the water management system, 35 manifest variables and five latent variables, namely technology, engineering, management, environment, and economy, were studied. Meanwhile, five latent variables, agricultural economic, social, ecological, institutional, and agricultural technology, as well as 34 manifest variables, were considered to determine the sustainability of paddy farming paddy. The study was conducted in the West Sumatra Province of Indonesia with the Institute of Irrigation Managers as the study population. The study discovered 18 manifest variables based on significant factors affecting the success of the paddy water management system and 19 manifest variables based on significant factors affecting the sustainability of paddy farming. According to the path coefficient results, twelve hypotheses were accepted. This study has successfully demonstrated a relationship between the success factors of agricultural water management and the sustainability of paddy farming. Agriculture water management factors and paddy farming sustainability factors showed significant positive and negative relationships, as demonstrated by the structural equation model developed. The developed model has the potential to be used for water management in agriculture to ensure the sustainability of paddy farming.
