Massive irrigation development has influenced the way farmers govern water user associations (WUAs) in Klambu Wilalung Irrigation District in Central Java, Indonesia. Recently, farmers adopt community-based (swakelola) and provider-based (lelang) network governance to manage the WUAs. The physical conditions of the irrigation network have become the primary driver of WUA's governance selection. This article provides geolocation data of irrigation network in the operation area of WUAs under community-based and provider-based network governance. The irrigation network consisted of two components, irrigation canal, and structure. Irrigation canal divided into the primary and secondary canal. The data cover GPS Tracks coordinates for 75 secondary canals and seven primary canals. Meanwhile, irrigation structures were grouped into main and support structures and consists of 12 types of structure. The data covers the GPS waypoint coordinates for 194 irrigation structures. The data also provide basic information of 34 WUAs applying community-based (11 WUAs) and provider-based (23 WUAs) network governance. WUAs basic information obtained from a survey conducted in 2016 and covers information on the type of governance, number of board, number of member farmers, size of operation area, and administrative location of each WUAs. Finally, the data is useful in planning research aimed to explain the role of irrigation infrastructure in shaping WUAs governance. Also, the information is crucial to planning a field survey in the area of the Klambu Wilalung Irrigation District in Central Java.
