This paper explores the potential for using modern (in place of traditional) irrigation technologies in developing countries with emphasis on center pivot irrigation. Items discussed include: The rather phenomenal growth and interesting advantages of center pivot irrigation development; design and planning options for using modern irrigation technologies; successful development experiences and cost factors related to utilizing center pivots in developing countries; and the concept, potential and relative advantages (over traditional) irrigation development) of utilizing center pivots to supply "controlled rain" to relatively undisturbed communities of small private farms.

The paper presents the results of a study to investigate ways to improve the effectiveness of functioning irrigation systems by examining the role of: (a) direct and indirect charges in meeting recurrent costs; and (b) increased farmer participation in system management. Five issues dealing with the pricing and management of irrigation water are examined with conclusions and recommendations included for each. The main conclusion from the study is that the resources for maintaining irrigation inputs must come from the direct beneficiaries.

In the 1980's emphasis will continue on where rural sociology can and must play a major role in action-oriented research, teaching and training, and practical involvement in developing programs. This paper intends to throw more light on one specific area of international challenge - irrigation management.

(Location: IWMI-HQ Call no: P 1421 Record No: H0908)
Year-round irrigation and multiple cropping with paddy as a dominant crop in the monsoon months have given rise to an increase in the incidence of malaria over an 18-year period in the Mahi-Kadana Irrigation Project in Gujarat State, India. Further man-made disturbances such as over- irrigation , and lack of drainage have also compounded the problem. The remedies, apart from the conventional control and prevention measures, are better water management practices and continuous monitoring of the projects by an inter-disciplinary team which should include a public health administrator.

Irrigation development in developing countries is very expensive and most irrigation development projects experience large cost-overruns. In addition, many projects are not as productive as planned. This report provides some insight into the key factors which cause cost escalation and performance degradation, and describe policies which may help to remedy these problems.
