The purpose of this study is to examine the social factors which affect the water management decision-making of Punjabi farmers in a sample of fifteen Pakistani villages. In essence, the study design is as follows: The focus of inquiry is on three dependent variables-- (1) decisions of farmers to clean watercourses; (2) decisions to change from kacha to pacca warabandi systems of water allocation; and (3) decision to interact with lower level irrigation department employees.

Based on an intensive survey of ten improved watercourses in Punjab, this study shows the inadequacy of present forms of social organization of watercourses for insuring their adequate maintenance. Using as the criterion the quality of maintenance of improved watercourses, the study suggests the following sociological characteristics as conducive to good maintenance under present conditions: A large percentage of landholdings in the 6.5 to 25 acre range; relatively equal distribution of power and influence among farmers being perceived as having some power and influence; relative "progressiveness" as measured by institutional services available in the community, educational level of the farmers, and percentage of farmers who listen to the radio regularly; previous history of cooperation and lack of recent conflict; single-biraderi social structure; and a small number of watercourse shareholders. Based on this research, the study makes concrete recommendations for improving the present On-Farm Water Management Pilot Project (including selection of watercourses), and presents a detailed proposal for setting up experimental Water Users associations and monitoring their progress.
