This paper suggests actions which irrigation system managers can take to improve performance without additional resources. Managers can use methods of rapid appraisal and a straightforward set of questions to identify feasible improvements. These can be found in three spheres of activity: (1) scheduling water distribution, especially to save or better use water at night; (2) communications; and (3) farmer participation. Improvements can be identified and introduced at once. There is no need for managers to wait.

An interdisciplinary project evolves around a set of fundamental situations which are present from the beginning of the project. These situations are as follows: (1) there are contrasting working perspectives between the technical experts of the project and the extension experts. (2) there are different perceptions regarding the involvement of farmers in the project, (3) there are different communication patterns which a project may follow, and (4) there are specific staff/farmer patterns which can emerge in the work of the project. Each situation is described in this report and the consequences for selecting the different aspects of each situation are presented. All interdisciplinary projects need to take into consideration the above mentioned situations and what choices the projects make will influence the outcome of the project's work.
