Preliminary findings from a study of farmer behavior in a 500-ha communal irrigation system in the Philippines' Camarines Sur province area are reported. Farmers use their irrigation water with considerable care. They have worked out generally satisfactory local arrangements for allocating and distributing scarce supplies of water, and they pay substantial amounts for irrigation even though formal water payments are low.

This chapter discusses the implementation challenges of the WHO Guidelines on safe wastewater use pertaining to the adoption of the so-called ‘post-treatment’ or ‘non-treatment’ options, like safer irrigation practices or appropriate vegetablewashing in kitchens. Due to limited risk awareness and immediate benefits of wastewater irrigation, it is unlikely that a broad adoption of recommended practices will automatically follow revised policies or any educational campaign and training. Most of the recommended practices do not only require behaviourchange but might also increase operational costs. In such a situation, significant efforts are required to explore how conventional and/or social marketing can support the desired behaviour-change towards the adoption of safety practices. This will require new strategic partnerships and a new section in the WHO Guidelines. This chapter outlines the necessary steps and considerations for increasing the adoption probability, and suggests a framework which is based on a combination of social marketing, incentive systems, awareness creation/education and application of regulations. An important conclusion is that these steps require serious accompanying research of the target group, strongly involving social sciences, which should not be underestimated in related projects.

Declining growth rates, fiscal imbalances and weak social security nets have led to the worsening of the poverty situation in Pakistan, with more people experiencing both absolute and relative poverty. The National Rural Support Program (NRSP) forms a bridge between the rural poor, the majority of whom depend entirely on agriculture for subsistence and income, and the Government agencies and departments responsible for water-delivery infrastructure and management. This paper gives a list of NRSP’s interventions in the water sector, all of which are focused on minimizing water losses and improving agricultural productivity for the rural poor. The paper presents the case for ‘social mobilisation’ as a critically important tool in the establishment of efficient and sustainable responses to water problems. Case studies provide examples of the effectiveness of these interventions.
