Examines the responsibilities undertaken by government agencies at the central, provincial and local government levels in the field of irrigation and drainage development in the context of the objectives and targets of Indonesia's development plan, Repelita III. Identifies the current level of financial contributions being made to perform these responsibilities by central and local governments respectively and any other significant sources such as international aid and payments to village officials. Considers current target levels of operation and maintenance expenditure and examines current methods of determining local variations in O & M requirements. Examines possible problems caused by the multiplicity of sources of finance for irrigation and drainage O & M and by the absence of local taxes or charges specifically earmarked for this function. Also examines possible problems caused by the different boundaries of the ecologically determined zones on which irrigation management is organized and of the administrative zones of the kabupatens. Finally, the paper suggests what criteria might be adopted in assessing the future scale and structure of central and local government financial contributions to the execution of irrigation and drainage programs at the provincial and local government levels and what degrees of discretion should be allotted to local government agencies in deciding their detailed use.

Discusses the need for evaluation of irrigation system performance in order to improve the future planning and management of the systems. Although the audience for which the evaluation may vary, there is a central core of data that will be of interest in one form or another to all parties concerned. This points to the desirability of establishing a regular performance monitoring system as a source of information from which all potential users can draw. The perspectives of different audiences and evaluators may lead to different understandings of critical terms in the evaluation process. The author suggests caution on two: (1) definition of "system" and (2) definitional aspects of three performance criteria which he considers the most important, namely, productivity, equity, and long-term environmental impact. In the last section the author calls attention to peculiar features of the Bangladesh context: (1) the preponderance of small, farmer-operated lift irrigation systems; (2) a large number of different irrigation technologies and management systems; (3) a high level of user-financing; and (4) a high level of landlessness, which has led to some unusual initiatives for participation in irrigation by landless groups.
