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.

(Location: IWMI-HQ Call no: PER Record No: H012978)
Considering the minimum cost as the objective, the furrow irrigation system design problem is formulated as an optimization problem. A combination of monotonicity analysis, constraint activity, and condensation are used to simplify the size of the mathematical model of the problem. This reduced model is used to analyze the sensitivity of the optimal design variables of a furrow irrigation system. The Soil Conservation Service (SCS) equations for the design of furrow irrigation along with several constraints are considered in the optimal design. Using an example problem and three different soil types, the system cost and design variables (inflow rate, length of furrow, and time of cutoff) are found to be sensitive to the supply flow rate, the design application depth, and the cost of coefficients of water, labor, and ditch construction. Under the given set of conditions, the cost of furrow irrigation system is very high in the case of a clay soil. The application efficiency achieved was lower in the case of a clay soil than in light (sandy) and medium textured soils.
