The NCAER study is primarily concerned with the empirical measurement of the contribution of irrigation to agricultural productivity, cropping pattern, expansion of cropped area and aggregate production. An econometric model is built to integrate individual contributions of irrigation to productivity, cropping pattern and cropped area, and to obtain an overall measure of the contribution to agricultural production. The model also helps in ranking, irrigation and fertilizer in order of their importance. The econometric model can be restricted to obtain similar results with regard to other inputs.

The workshop was organized around the theme of investment decisions for the further development and utilization of irrigation resources in South East Asia. Implied in this theme, and in the rationale for the workshop, was the notion that policy choices among alternative investments in irrigation resources would have to be made by nations in Southeast Asia, and that research related to these choices could be useful to those individuals making such policy decisions.

This research program was funded by USAID, organized by CSU and sent out to identify good investments for developing countries in water management. Loss of almost half of the water from watercourses was identified as a primary waste of irrigation water which is a limiting factor in crop production in Pakistan. Physical causes of the loss were identified as high porosity of upper portions of the banks due to burrowing of soil for weekly construction of dams, and rising levels of water in the watercourse due to vegetative growth and sedimentation. Difficulty in organizing farmers to accomplish regular cleaning and repair was identified as an underlying sociologic cause of the loss. Experimental masonry and concrete watercourses were built by the government and given to the farmers. They were too expensive to provide a nationwide solution. The farmers did not appreciate and maintain them because they had no investment therein. Other lined watercourses on which the government paid for materials and the farmers provided labor were better appreciated and maintained, but took longer to build and still required large amounts of cement and were too costly for a national program. Cooperative improvement of the earthen channels by the farmers with the government providing the materials and design for concrete control structures at the junctions was developed as a program which had a benefit:cost ratio of at least 3 to 1 and was eagerly accepted by the farmers in a study which involved a series of case histories. Subsequent studies indicated that a good and regular cleaning and repair program would save almost as much water and provide higher benefits with much lower government input. However, the watercourse improvement plan with its concrete control structures was more eagerly accepted by the farmers. Full benefits of the improvement were obtained only by those farmers who organized themselves to clean and maintain their watercourses regularly.
