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
