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.
5 Hanson, E. G.; El-Kady, M.; Litwiller, K. E.; Early, A. C. 1984. Impact of turnout size and condition on water management on farms. Cairo: Egypt Water Use and Management Project. vi, 29p. (EWUP technical report no.71)

The following report describes the legal irrigation throughout turnouts to mesgas and reviews the design assumptions, legal implications and current utility of the existing methods in Egypt. The legal limitations currently imposed upon the turnouts, based on specific site measurements, are presented, together with the responses from the Ministry of Irrigation and farmers to the inadequacies of the current turnouts. Data collected from the field sites indicates the necessity of increasing the size of turnouts in accordance with irrigation demands for the season and crops grown throughout Egypt. The recommended larger capacity turnouts with adjustable gates includes the design modification requirements of modified inlet shapes and provision for trash guards. These larger gated turnouts will require an irrigation technician to assume the responsibility of the current gatekeeper function and to interface with the farmers regarding their irrigating scheduling. In addition to recommendations regarding closer management between the irrigation technician and the farmers, it is suggested that training centers be established to assist in the development of water distribution management methods between the irrigation engineers and the water user associations.

The irrigation advisory service: A proposed organization for improving on-farm water management in Egypt. Cairo: Egypt Water Use and Management Project. v, 30p. (EWUP technical report no.66)
(Location: IWMI-HQ Call no: 631.7.6.2 G232 SAL Record No: H036)
In order for an irrigation system to be managed most effectively, all aspects of the system must be taken into consideration. On-farm development is frequently left to the farmers' initiative alone. However, in order for such development to occur in the most effective manner, some technical help may be diffused to the farmers. The purpose of this paper is to look at two crucial issues involved in establishing such an Irrigation Advisory Service (IAS) in Egypt. First, there is a discussion on whether or not the circumstances in Egypt will allow for an IAS to be established. Second, there is an examination of the critical parameters of organizational development which need to be addressed when attempting to establish an IAS. The presentation in this report is designed to sensitize the government of Egypt to the issues involved in establishing an Irrigation Advisory Service and provide them with the guidelines which need to be examined in making policy decisions about such an organization.

Developing water users' associations, or any other type of farmer organizations, results in the adherence by change agents to particular theoretical parameters. One theoretical foundation of an organization is the development of participatory leadership. The development of leadership is a continual process emphasizing the components of motivation, action, consequence and reaction. A well-functioning leadership group facilitates cooperation between the villagers and government agencies, develops training programs to teach the people to become more reliant, generates income to finance programs and performs needs assessments and solutions to problems in order to motivate the people to cooperatively perform the necessary tasks. Change agents, called rural extension facilitators, work to develop the leadership by developing awareness among population, practicing activities and internalizing the concept of cooperative action among the group members. These theoretical parameters are discussed in this paper with the purpose of sensitizing individuals involved in organizing farmers as to some fundamental conditions which affect how such organizations are developed.
