Farmer attitudes in five systems of the National Irrigation Administration were explored. The majority of farmers felt that they had adequate water, but that their water distribution could be improved. Farmers in water-short areas acknowledged the limited supply of water in their irrigation systems. These two groups exhibited contrasting attitudes, with the former tending to be relatively less cooperative and placing less value on irrigation. In terms of water distribution, farms served by the first half of the irrigation canal generally seemed better located than those served by the second half.

In some bureaucratically-managed canal irrigation systems there are zones where neither the farmers nor the system staff are willing to take responsibility for O and M. On these "no-man's canals" the maintenance is poorly done, the water distribution is less productive than it could be, and the consequences are less efficient use of water, land and capital than necessary. "Farmer's Attitude" is a frequently encountered explanation for the lack of farmer participation in O and M in this zone. "Farmer's attitude" is shown to be residual rather than a positively identified constraint. "Organizational Control over Water" is proposed as a plausible candidate for a social constraint on participation, based on both theoretical findings, and empirical cases from modern Mexico. One strategy for further research is presented. Versions of this analysis have been presented at Boston University (Development Anthropology Seminar), ODI (Luncheon talk, June 1986), Brandies University Anthropology Colloquium, and to the International Agricultural Seminar, Cornell University
