Presents the results of an evaluation of the performance of four tank irrigation systems and two river pump systems in northeast Thailand. Wet season rice yields were much lower in the pump projects and their construction costs were high compared to the tanks. The dry season returns varied a great deal among crops and projects. Low yields and high labor use resulted in negative net returns to farmers in a number of the projects during the dry season. In general, wet season irrigation was adequate, while only half the farmers practiced dry season cropping. The paper concludes with recommendations for improving project performance.
