This paper presents the pre-project survey results and analysis of the action research program on encouraging water users associations for better water management. This program studies the dynamics of water users associations having greater management responsibility. The study sought to obtain in-depth knowledge on the ability and willingness of the irrigation community to assume greater responsibility for water management with a high level of community participation. The purpose of this study was to help prepare different phases of community involvement in the action research program and also in subsequent system operation and management. The impact of their involvement in the planning phase of better water management will be studied in greater detail later. Qadirabad, in District Gujranwala, Punjab Province, and Bara Drush Khela, in District Swat, NWFP, are the two selected study sites. The study methodology used was field survey research including interviews with non-random informants and respondents, and systematic field observations. The educational standards of interviewees at both sites were encouraging. Most of the farmers own their landholdings, albeit small. Most farmer families at both sites are large, which is typical of the demography in irrigated areas of Pakistan. At both sites, the water users show interest in the formation of water users association and in the planning and development of technical inputs (structural and non-structural). The study sites offer good opportunity to test different types of socio- economic criteria for the formation of effective and viable water user associations.
