Some concepts of organizational and social behavior are presented, and their application illustrated in a social study of three gravity irrigation systems in Southern Luzon, Philippines. The nature of interaction between the farmers and the administration of these systems is explored through the role played by the irrigation ditchtenders. Inter personal relationships between the ditchtenders and the farmers are used to illustrate the importance of institutional factors in irrigation behavior.

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.

Irrigated agriculture, by its very nature, is a joint enterprise that requires the cooperation of all water users and those government agencies and other organizations that provide services to farmers. This book illustrates irrigation associations and how they can help a local area increase its agricultural productivity through farmers working together to construct, manage, maintain and/or rehabilitate the irrigation systems that they can use.

This paper describes three action experiments in irrigation development presently underway in Indonesia, Sri Lanka and the Philippines. Each of these experiments is concerned with increasing farmer involvement in project decisions and activities in both the pre- and post-construction periods. It is suggested that such action experiments are an effective means for discovering and testing country- specific means for reorienting the mix of State and locality rights and responsibilities in irrigation development. To implement such action experiments, one needs to begin with a broad definition of irrigation development, an irrigation agency that is tolerant of testing alternatives, a knowledge-generating partner institution, and a supportive project donor. The action projects reviewed suggest that irrigation development is (1) a process requiring a set of implementing institutions rather than a single agency, (2) benefits from greater involvement in pre- as well as post-construction activities, and (3) that the use of a catalyst role is an effective means to improve interaction between the irrigation agency and water users.
