This paper presents an objective easy-to-use methodology for rapidly assessing the capacity of the managers and users of an irrigation system to respond positively to interventions to improve performance, and for identifying the types of interventions likely to succeed. The 'Performance Improvement Capacity Audit' is based on five basic questions on the system design, operations, data collection, management framework and the will to manage. It is applied retrospectively on five systems to demonstrate its potential usefulness. The methodology complements others which focus on assessing actual and potential system performance.

The paper provides a brief introduction to a proposed study to be implemented under the newly established Health and Irrigation Program of IIMI. The proposed study will make use of a Geographical Information System to examine the relationship between irrigated agriculture and Malaria in selected areas of the Moneragala District, Sri Lanka. The study will also be used as a case study of the usefulness of GIS as a support tool to be used when planning future water resources development projects in regard to potential health impacts.
