The paper presents the results of a study to investigate ways to improve the effectiveness of functioning irrigation systems by examining the role of: (a) direct and indirect charges in meeting recurrent costs; and (b) increased farmer participation in system management. Five issues dealing with the pricing and management of irrigation water are examined with conclusions and recommendations included for each. The main conclusion from the study is that the resources for maintaining irrigation inputs must come from the direct beneficiaries.

Interest in systems of user charges for irrigation projects serving large numbers of small farmers has grown in recent years in response to concerns about 1: the need to provide more adequate funding of O & M. 2: distortions and inefficiencies induced by subsidies, and 3: inadequate accountability of irrigation system managers to water users. The effects that can be expected from a system of user charges depend on - whether the charges are assessed as water prices or as area-based fees - whether the irrigation agency has a significant degree of financial autonomy, and - the nature of the linkages between irrigation charges and investment decisions. Other important considerations in establishing user charges are the ability of the users to pay irrigation fees; the cost-effectiveness of O & M activities; the costs of implementing the user charges; and whether charges are project-specific or uniform throughout a region or a nation.

For many irrigation schemes which suffer high sediment loads in the water they use, it is not possible in the short term to control the sediment entering the water upstream. The cost of removing sediment which is deposited in the canals in the wet season is high and the task is often impossible to accomplish before the next dry season. Sediment control, therefore, is regarded as an appropriate solution. The case study described here outlines a method of evaluating the inclusion of a sediment control structure in an irrigation scheme where sediment is a major constraint to irrigating. Inclusion of sediment control gives scheme managers the ability to keep the system operational over a wide area thus reducing inequity of supply. Improved fee collection which should result from this can provide more reliable funding for target desilting to reinforce the benefit of sediment control and develop a financially sustainable maintenance system.

This article addresses the problem of identifying annual operation, maintenance, and replacement (OM&R) expenditures needed to maintain performance of the water delivery system in Egypt. The delivery system, which includes the High Aswan Dam (HAD), large irrigation structures, pump stations, and thousands of canals and drains, is described. Procedures for estimating these OM&R costs and assessing system benefits in the various use sectors are presented. The article also explains the development and application of a cost allocation model to estimate the share of the various use sectors from the system cost.

RIP is planned as a five year joint research program among the International Irrigation Management Institute (IIMI), the International Institute for Land Reclamation and Improvement (ILRI) and the International Institute for Infrastructural, Hydraulic and Environmental Engineering (IHE). Starting 1994, these three institutes do field research in four countries: Argentina (ILRI), India (IIMI), Morocco (IHE) and Pakistan (IIMI). These case studies are coordinated through the annual meeting of the ICID Working Group on Irrigation and Drainage Performance, and through an annual Workshop in one of the above countries. The RIP is an integral part of IIMI's Performance Assessment and Improvement Program. RIP is partly financed from IIMI's core fund for this program. The other part is financed by ILRI, IHE and by the counterpart institutions.
