This paper presents the findings of a field experiment to secure farmer participation for system design and water management work in major irrigation scheme in Sri Lanka. The approach adopted was to employ a change agent to enable farmers to group into organizations based on a common hydraulic area. During the two and a half year period, over 200 farmer organizations were formed and farmer participation was successfully obtained, not only forsystem design, re-construction, operation and maintenance work but also for a few other activities. The paper concludes the need for development of human resources in addition to the investments on physical rehabilitation work.
