This paper considers the Philippine irrigation development program, and its role, past and future, in increasing rice production. In the first two sections, recent and predicted future trends in the Philippine rice economy and irrigation are reviewed to establish the national setting for further irrigation development. The third section presents results from an analysis of irrigation infrastructure costs and physical facilities in Philippine Government systems, in particular the increases and improvements which have occurred over time. Irrigation management and water management are discussed in the fourth section, followed by presentation of a model of water allocation, distribution, and irrigated area in government irrigation systems.

In Asian irrigated paddy, the land preparation period is a particular concern for effective system water management. A logit model is formulated for the weekly progression of irrigable section area through the land preparation phase, incorporating both actual and expected future water supply variables. Cropped area model parameters are estimated with Philippine data. Section cropped area over a season is simulated for three main system locations under four different distributions of system irrigation supply. A scheme targeting land preparation deliveries to specific areas provides the best system performance in terms of equity of seasonal cropped area and land preparation water use efficiency.
