1 Quiroga, E. R.. 1984. Irrigation planning to transform subsistence agriculture: Lessons from El Salvador. Human Ecology, 12(2):183-201.
(Location: IWMI-HQ Call no: P 1336 Record No: H01426)
Experience with irrigation schemes designed to improve the productivity of subsistence farmers in Latin America seems to parallel the results of the green revolution in Southeast Asia. Although in some cases the impact on the productivity has been significant, in far too many cases the pervasive pattern of inequity has been reinforced. This case study of the Irrigation District of Zapotitan in El Salvador analyses some of the reasons for the unexpected results, with particular reference to the planning process. It essentially illustrates that the transformation of subsistence agriculture through irrigation demands new institutions designed not only to service agricultural production but also to ensure the actual benefits on the targeted group.
