The main activities influencing irrigated agriculture in Mexico are analyzed in light of the four major disciplines involved - agronomy, engineering, management and economics. Each activity is assessed on the basis of the existing situation, verifying the causes hampering the extension of production and surveying the ways to overcome the difficulties in physical and economic terms. A simplistic approach, with minimal use of quantitative analysis has been taken in this survey. However, some of the activities affecting production are quantified on a project-to-project and regional basis, supported by extrapolation of the information available.

In some bureaucratically-managed canal irrigation systems there are zones where neither the farmers nor the system staff are willing to take responsibility for O and M. On these "no-man's canals" the maintenance is poorly done, the water distribution is less productive than it could be, and the consequences are less efficient use of water, land and capital than necessary. "Farmer's Attitude" is a frequently encountered explanation for the lack of farmer participation in O and M in this zone. "Farmer's attitude" is shown to be residual rather than a positively identified constraint. "Organizational Control over Water" is proposed as a plausible candidate for a social constraint on participation, based on both theoretical findings, and empirical cases from modern Mexico. One strategy for further research is presented. Versions of this analysis have been presented at Boston University (Development Anthropology Seminar), ODI (Luncheon talk, June 1986), Brandies University Anthropology Colloquium, and to the International Agricultural Seminar, Cornell University

Tests the hypothesis that, in general, irrigation management transfer has positive impacts on operation performance, managerial accountability, O&M budgeting and expenditures, costs of water to farmers, and agricultural and economic productivity in the Alto Rio Lerma Irrigation District in Mexico. Evaluates the potential of the Mexican IMT process as a model for other countries.
