This paper compares two farmer-managed irrigation systems in the hill region of Nepal. The way in which the farmers organize and how they mobilize resources to carry out the tasks of an irrigation system are described. One of these tasks is the allocation of entitlements to water among the farms or farmers. The analysis is focussed on their distinctively different principles of water allocation, i.e., in proportion to the land area irrigated in the one case and according to shares purchased in the system in the other. The implications of the principle of water allocation for expansion of the irrigated area and increase in the number of households with access to irrigation are analyzed. The paper is based on the authors' twenty months of field research.

This occasional paper presents recommendations for improving the effectiveness of operation and maintenance of agency-managed irrigation systems and for providing effective assistance to farmer-managed systems in Nepal. This paper sets out a series of recommendations with supporting arguments. These recommendations were discussed at an Irrigation Sector Coordination Meeting held in Kathmandu, Nepal, on 23 February 1988. The meeting was convened by the Ministry of Water Resources and was attended by representatives of a number of government departments and international donor agencies.

This paper reviews literature in four topic areas of relevance to Sri Lanka: system operations and performance, organization and management of irrigation systems, rehabilitation and modernization of irrigation systems, and resource generation and mobilization. A review on crop diversification issues is included as an Appendix. Most of the literature reviewed concentrates on large irrigation schemes and focusses on literature published since 1978. The paper attempts to identify, for each of the four topics, the progress made and lessons learned, and to suggest research questions that ought to be addressed.
