The water management program of the National Irrigation Administration is described in this paper. It focuses on the Asian Development Bank-supported pilot project in the Angat River Irrigation System in Bulacan. That project has combined applied research and extension with operational innovations which have enabled improved irrigation both in terms of quality and area served. The project is now being expanded to several thousand hectares of the system preparatory to its implementation in other systems.

In order for an irrigation system to be managed most effectively, all aspects of the system must be taken into consideration. On-farm development is frequently left to the farmers' initiative alone. However, in order for such development to occur in the most effective manner, some technical help may be diffused to the farmers. The purpose of this paper is to look at two crucial issues involved in establishing such an Irrigation Advisory Service (IAS) in Egypt. First, there is a discussion on whether or not the circumstances in Egypt will allow for an IAS to be established. Second, there is an examination of the critical parameters of organizational development which need to be addressed when attempting to establish an IAS. The presentation in this report is designed to sensitize the government of Egypt to the issues involved in establishing an Irrigation Advisory Service and provide them with the guidelines which need to be examined in making policy decisions about such an organization.

Examples are drawn from the Indus Basin to explain why on-farm water management problems restrict the output of agricultural products in many LDCs. Data are presented to illustrate the low level of water management knowledge of both the farmers and the current extension agents. Examples of the level of corruption and its effect on the operating system are illustrated. Several requirements that must be met before a large-scale irrigation scheme will actually increase the welfare of LDC farmers are presented.
