The swamp is a water storage with a water resources contained, constantly or seasonally inundated, naturally formed in relatively flat or concave land with mineral or peat deposits, and overgrown with vegetation, which is an ecosystem [1]. Utilization of swamp land in Rambutan, Banyuasin district has not been optimal, in the study site has been a lot of research on buffalo that said the need for a water management system in the dry season. This study aims to analyze the water availability for buffalo, analyze the water requirements for buffaloes, plan the water management system for swamp buffalo of Rambutan Sub-District at South Sumatra, so during the dry season the water demands for feed and buffalo habitat are fulfilled as well. In this study water management planning scenarios for swamp buffalo cattle include: analyzing the minimum discharge for water availability, analyzing the water requirements for livestock and ponds, planning drainage ditches and ponds as water demands for swamp buffaloes. The lowest water level was at -0.508 MSL. With a river discharge of 14.64 m3 / sec, the highest water requirement occurred in July of 541,559.8 m3 and the lowest in August of 437714.3 m3, the channel can overcome the fulfillment of water buffalo at the location of research..
