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.
