This paper presents and discusses the relevant principles, corollaries and rules of logic in land classification for irrigation suitability determinations. Also included are the generalized methodology and operating procedures. Most of the information used is from the material that has been developed and established by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, modified to fit the Philippine setting. To maintain continuity, the land classification work already undertaken is also included and documented. The functions and uses of the land classification information in conjunction with irrigation water management are explored and stressed. It is recommended that land classification, as well as the institution of improved water management, be undertaken not only for proposed irrigation, drainage and flood control projects prior to authorization, but also in existing irrigation systems prior to rehabilitation or improvement.

In spite of huge investments in flood control, drainage, and irrigation projects in Bangladesh, there have been very few evaluations to assess how effective this large investment in water resources development has been in either economic or social terms. There is a need for the development of a common methodology for the evaluation of water sector projects which would help overcome some of these problems and a coordinated approach to the evaluation of flood control, drainage, and irrigation (FCDI) projects in Bangladesh in order to provide an informed basis for government policy decisions. Part I of the paper addresses the first of these needs. It presents some general guidelines for the evaluation of FCDI projects in Bangladesh as a first step towards developing a common methodology for such studies. Part II outlines some preliminary definitions and methodological issues and is divided into three sections: monitoring and evaluation; the project evaluation process; and problems in sampling. Part III presents guidelines for undertaking economic evaluation, social evaluation and assessment of overall project performance. It concludes with a discussion of the relative merits of large scale full evaluations of projects and small scale mini evaluations. The last part presents some tentative conclusions and makes some suggestions on how the evaluation process may be institutionalized in Bangladesh.

In the risk based design for hydraulic structures, the major task is the evaluation of the annual expected damage costs caused by floods. Due to the use of a limited amount of data in flood frequency analysis, the computed flood magnitude of a specified return period is subject to uncertainty. A methodology to integrate such uncertainty in the evaluation of annual expected flood damage is developed and illustrated through an example in culvert design. The effect of uncertainty in estimating flood magnitude using different hydrologic probability models with different sample sizes on the annual expected damage cost is examined. Results of the study show that the effect of the uncertainty in a flood magnitude estimate on annual expected damage is quite significant and is sensitive to the sample sizes and the probability distribution models used.

A model of social cost minimizing spillway capacity for dams is constructed using (1) the estimated distribution of peak flows from historical data, (2) the estimated relationship between spillway capacity and cost, and (3) a characterization of downstream flood damage from dam failure. Net social cost is the sum of construction costs and expected flood damage. This model is applied to data for the Rio Grande River at Embudo, New Mexico. Minimum social cost is attained at a spillway capacity much smaller than that needed to handle a probably maximum flood.
