One of the major objectives of the EWUP has been to experiment with various on-farm practices to see how the irrigation management activities of the farmers may be improved. The practices tested were precision land levelling, irrigation system design (long furrows and border irrigation), irrigation scheduling, field drain elimination, marwa improvement techniques, and specific plant and crop practices. The purpose of this report is to present the farmers' evaluation of each of these practices. Fifty-four farmer programs were conducted in a six season time span beginning in summer season 1980 to winter season 1983. The package of practices introduced generally provided an increase in crop yield for the farmers but the farmers have not accepted the total number of practices. Some practices are too expensive and cannot be supported by the existing institutional setting, some are notfield applicable, and others are not seen as appropriate by the farmers to their present situations. While the practices themselves have demonstrated a positive effect on the yields for the farmers, the questions as to the ability of the farmers to adopt the practices as presented by EWUP still remains to be pursued.

This paper examines the effectiveness of a production technique, precision land leveling (PLL), to minimize the losses of water between the rivers and the plant root zone. It identifies the economic and physical benefits attributable to precision land leveling. While the work is specific to Pakistan, the implications are levant for other arid areas of the world where irrigation is practices. Two sets of fields were selected, one set that had been precision leveled and another set that had been leveled using traditional techniques. The economic analysis of precision land leveling, assuming a life of 10 years, proved to be positive but not above the two or three to one return that is usually required to persuade subsistent farmers to invest in a new technology. However, the precision land leveling acts as a catalyst and increases the efficiency of the other associated inputs. Hence, it is a more valuable investment than is indicated by simple economic analysis.
