(Location: IWMI-India Call no: 631.7 G000 SMA Record No: H0444)
In 1982, a group of faculty at Rutgers University interested in the effects of water-related projects on human well-being formed an informal Working Group on Water and Human Welfare. Members recognized both the importance of irrigation in many less-developed countries (LDCs), and the variety of positive and negative welfare effects which irrigation may have. Furthermore, the Working Group participants felt that more attention should be given to developing methods by which the planning and implementation of water-related projects in irrigated areas could better integrate major types of welfare considerations.

Year-round irrigation and multiple cropping with paddy as a dominant crop in the monsoon months have given rise to an increase in the incidence of malaria over an 18-year period in the Mahi-Kadana Irrigation Project in Gujarat State, India. Further man-made disturbances such as over- irrigation , and lack of drainage have also compounded the problem. The remedies, apart from the conventional control and prevention measures, are better water management practices and continuous monitoring of the projects by an inter-disciplinary team which should include a public health administrator.

Certain kinds of irrigation development projects in hot climates have important adverse implications for human health. This article reviews aspects of such projects in relation to their effects on vector-borne disease; the specific diseases associated with these developments are discussed and tabulated. It introduces the concept of environmental management for disease control and this is discussed in relation to the various phases of project planning and establishment. It concludes by making recommendations for action to be taken towards ensuring the general acceptance and implementation of such techniques.

The Government of the Republic of Zambia is engaged in the planning, construction and operation of a number of irrigation projects. The Government shares with the WHO, the FAO, the UNEP and the World Bank a concern that such projects may adversely affect human health and the environment, and wishes to ensure that such negative impacts are prevented or mitigated to the greatest possible extent. Consequently, the Zambian authorities agreed to an evaluation of the potential health impacts of several schemes in their country. The evaluation provided an opportunity to test a new rapid assessment technique. It was concluded that, in general the currently planned irrigation projects would not create additional vector-borne disease hazards. The main facts leading to this conclusion were: the well-drained nature of the soils; the high priority given to proper operation and maintenance; and the absence of large-scale movement of susceptible populations. Several improvements to the rapid assessment technique are suggested.
