An overview of the results of several recent field studies on water management and distribution in the Philippine provinces of Laguna, Bulacan, and Nueva Ecija is presented. The diversion irrigation systems studied ranged from 3,600 to 75,000 ha in size. Factors found to have insignificant influence on the performance of the systems are farm-ditch density, the distances of farms from turnouts, and the rotation of water supplies at the farm level. But the location of farmers' fields along distribution canals and the rotation of water supplies among laterals or sublaterals markedly influenced the performance of the systems.

The interim results of the study as conducted by the International Irrigation Management Institute (IIMI) is presented. Existing practices of farmers and the National Irrigation Administration (NIA) personnel in managing the available water supply are highlighted. These practices were analyzed for possible adoption in other NIA systems. The paper also presents opportunities for improvements to optimize land and water use during the dry season. Limited water supply and suitable soils were the main physical factors that enabled farmers to effectively irrigate rice and non-rice crops during the dry season. The active involvement of the irrigators' association (IAs) in water allocation and distribution resulted in optimal or effective use of limited water supply. Further investigations into other factors, like the rice priority policy and other socio-economic incentives that will make irrigated crop diversification attractive and profitable to farmers were suggested.
