Monitoring of the performance of irrigation systems in India is practiced only to a very limited extent in terms o number of systems and the character of the monitoring. The paper suggests that current views on monitoring can be explained by looking at the historical development of irrigation in India. In analyzing the past, Levine points out that the emphasis was placed on the capture and conveyance of water rather than on its use and, therefore, no need for significant monitoring other than for maintenance of the hardware was necessary. The paper also discusses the impact that other factors like the scale of the large systems, the dearth of incentives and the lack of appropriate control infrastructure--both organizational and physical--had on monitoring, evaluation and response activities. In the context of the current scene, the author implies that there is a growing recognition of the need for monitoring and evaluation both in the short and in the longer term perspective. A number of efforts in this regard are presented.

Monitoring of physical situations usually is low profile, relatively tedious, and with a value more apparent to professionals than to administrators or the public. There is little purpose in monitoring for operational purposes if there is no opportunity to correct. Therefore, monitoring must be a part of a system of information flow which links the conditions in the field to those with authority to make appropriate changes in use. The author suggests that in the case of aquifer management, there are at least four reasons why a government or group of individuals might be interested in a monitoring and evaluation process: (1) to prevent rates of water extraction which will exceed the safe yield of the aquifer; (2) to minimize adverse effects on other water sources; (3) to utilize the aquifer as an active reservoir making more effective use of precipitation; and (4) to protect the quality of the water in the aquifer. The paper discusses the process of evaluation of the management of an groundwater reservoir. Then the author goes on to consider, for each objective, the monitoring and evaluation needs as well as the performance criteria which determine and guide management activities.

Irrigation performance was analyzed in three diversion systems from 3,600 to 28,000 ha. Twenty-two turnout areas ranging from 5 to more than 20 ha and supplied by different irrigation techniques were monitored through both the wet and dry seasons. The results are mixed, but there is some evidence that water use efficiency in the dry season was higher in areas served by farm ditch rotational irrigation. Higher water use efficiency seems to be associated with the larger and smaller sized areas, but not with the intermediate sized areas (from 10 to 20 ha). Farmers do not practice rotational irrigation as it is practiced in Taiwan, and it does not appear to have significant value in the wet season.
