This paper considers the Philippine irrigation development program, and its role, past and future, in increasing rice production. In the first two sections, recent and predicted future trends in the Philippine rice economy and irrigation are reviewed to establish the national setting for further irrigation development. The third section presents results from an analysis of irrigation infrastructure costs and physical facilities in Philippine Government systems, in particular the increases and improvements which have occurred over time. Irrigation management and water management are discussed in the fourth section, followed by presentation of a model of water allocation, distribution, and irrigated area in government irrigation systems.

New technologies, irrigation and changes in the broader socio-economic environment are often major causes of disequilibria in the decision making environment of farmers in developing countries. The pace and pattern of their adjustment to new situations has concentrated on the adoption process of new technologies as a whole or in terms of particular component practices. However, situations where farmers are required to adopt and adjust to a single component practice while other elements of their environment remain static are rare. Technologies often appear in the form of packages and accompany broader socio-economic changes. In this thesis a conceptual framework which draws heavily on human capital theory is developed to address broad issues of farmer adjustment to simultaneous changes in many aspects of their environment. This framework is applied to farm survey data gathered from a sample within the Pilot Phase of the Mahaweli Project. The empirical analysis utilizes stochastic frontier production functions to obtain measures of technical and allocative efficiencies of individual farmers which reflect their technical and allocative abilities. The analysis was conducted at two levels, using market and economic prices. The findings show that different types of human capital have significantly different impacts on the ability of farmers to adjust to specific changes in technological and environmental factors; the major source of losses to the economy is shown to be farm level inefficiencies rather than price distortions; and the differential performance of farmers resulting from varying ability to adjust to disequilibria and the heterogeneity in farm micro environments are shown to result in an unequal distribution of income unanticipated by planners, but significant in terms of future consequences.

The green revolution has been the dominant orientation for rural development programmes in India for over two decades now. As a strategy it implied the introduction of high yielding varieties, extensive use of farm machinery, energised well-irrigation, use of high doses of fertilizers and pesticides directed at improving farm production. It was optimistically reckoned that from this would emerge lasting solutions to the perpetual problem of rural poverty and hunger. This paper examines the extensive literature which has accumulated about the green revolution with a view to determine the nature of impact of the development strategy on different sections of rural society. Has the green revolution succeeded in reducing socio-economic inequalities in rural India?
