The paper presents a review of policy issues which are relevant to groundwater exploitation in the developing countries of the world. It examines the economic, technical and social issues which arise in the use of groundwater for irrigation and domestic water supplies and also those involved in the conjunctive use of ground and surface waters. The aim is to direct attention to crucial areas and to produce hypothesis which will be subsequently tested and verified so as to enable guidelines to be prepared for use in the evaluation of future projects.

This paper argues that irrigation development offers an opportunity for equitable distribution of increased incomes. Data are presented to demonstrate that distributional impacts of new irrigation systems may be potentially more significant for or against rural equity than any possible government initiative affecting land ownership or tenancy arrangements. Nevertheless, irrigation systems are often developed with no more than lip service paid to concerns about equity. Therefore, although irrigation expansion can represent an immense opportunity, it could also be a dangerous threat for those interested in equity in rural communities. The paper discusses a variety of approaches that have been used to obtain indications about the distributional impact of irrigation systems. The paper points out that information to date on distribution of incomes from irrigation gives cause for concern. It is argued that irrigation systems can be designed and policies devised to distribute water, and hence benefits, more equitably across areas of large-scale systems and to curtail the extent to which those managing tubewells are able to collect water charges in excess of water costs. The paper concludes that additional studies on the distributional impact of irrigation systems are fully warranted. Furthermore, since distributional issues can be incorporated into evaluations at little extra cost, such issues should be an integral part of any evaluation of performance of irrigation systems.

The supply and use of irrigation water for agricultural production is bound to incur problems where supply to and use in varying economic units coincides with water scarcity. In the light of so many unsuccessful irrigation schemes the transfer of returns to irrigation is of special importance. The main objectives of collecting water charges in irrigation schemes can be described as to cover the costs, and to increase and bring under control agricultural production.
