The literature on rapid rural appraisal has so far focused primarily on methods appropriate for donor agencies and agricultural research institutions. In contrast, this paper discusses a rapid appraisal methodology that was developed for the use of an implementing agency. Called the sociotechnical profiling approach, this methodology became a tool of the National Irrigation Administration (NIA) in the Philippines for deciding which small-scale irrigation projects it would assist in a given year and for planning the agency's initial technical and social interventions. The paper describes the instruments that guided the preparation, write up, and analysis of the socio-technical profile; traces the history of how the instruments were developed and how the NIA staff earned to use them; and discusses the impact of the profiling approach on the implementation process of NIA's small-scale irrigation program.

Presents a case study of the systems which were set up to monitor the Upper Pampanga River Integrated Irrigation Systems (UPRIIS) in the Philippines. Chapter 1 describes the project and project area. Chapter 2 presents an analysis of the hierarchy of objectives and the responsibilities of the various agencies participating in the project. Chapter 3 focuses on the management of interagency coordination and relates it to the theoretical framework developed by the Bank for rural development projects. The monitoring techniques for achieving operational coordination are described in Chapter 4. Finally, Chapter 5 suggests how the UPRIIS monitoring and evaluation system can be used to identify and respond to potential managerial challenges beyond the current phase of implementation, as the project progresses toward full development of the project area.

This paper briefly reviews the objectives of Asian Development Bank involvement in the irrigation sector and the constraints, particularly those imposed by the local setting, which affect the development and evaluation of irrigation projects and the operation of irrigation systems. The paper then describes the objectives pursued in evaluating irrigation. It outlines evaluation approaches and the methodologies used, reviews some evaluation results, and concludes with suggestions on how evaluations could effectively improve the formulation and management of future irrigation projects and systems.

The paper reports on an evaluation of the Lift Irrigation Scheme (LIS) Chobin located near Baijnath, Kangra District, in the mid-hill region of the state of Himachal Pradesh. The study included a technical, economic, and social analysis. The technical component involved a review of the existing project plans and feasibility reports, an assessment of the nature and suitability of structures, potential and actual areas irrigated, effectiveness of water delivery in quantity and timeliness, and nature and extent of drainage problems, if any. The economic analysis reviewed the project plans and feasibility reports and computed the economic rate of return from the project including sensitivity analysis. The social component involved assessment of the social impact of the project and the nature of farmer involvement in project planning, design, and operation. Due to time and resources constraints the evaluation was based on rapid and quick appraisal techniques rather than on intensive data collection. The results of the evaluation, together with those from seven other systems evaluated following the same approach, have been useful to the state and to international agencies as feedback for project formulation and planning.

This paper covers the evaluation of the Pochampad Irrigation Project located near the Godavari River in Nizambad District in the state of Andhra Pradesh in Southern India. The evaluation was carried out by the Programme Evaluation Organization (PEO) in the Planning Commission. The objectives of the evaluation were to study: (1) the financial aid mechanisms including organization and management; (2) cost and time over-runs in completion of works; (3) irrigation potential and its utilization; (4) the agricultural support program; and (5) the impact of the project. A survey approach was followed, collecting information from both functionaries and beneficiaries. Findings indicate that there was no time lag in disbursement of loans. However, cost over-runs and time over-runs were considerable. Maintenance of the water distribution system was found to be seriously neglected. This, coupled with inadequate capacity of key outlets resulted in uneven distribution of water throughout the command area. Finally, the economic rate of return from the investment was found to be lower than that foreseen by the project authorities.
