Examines the nature of water allocation in two new farmer-managed irrigation systems in the Dumoga Valley of North Sulawesi, Indonesia. The purpose of the research was three-fold: 1) to identify the social and physical aspects of these systems which influence how water is allocated among farmers' fields; 2) to analyze the interplay between rules and processes of farmer interaction; and 3) to examine the equity and efficiency of water use by farmers.

Based on the fact that the systems of irrigation management in central Java have not functioned well (i.e., continual disputes concerning problems of water distribution, the insufficient maintenance of channels and other structures at the village level, the sale of water, etc.), a new system of management was introduced in central Java in 1971 called the dharma tirta system. This paper studies the system of the village ulu-ulu and the distributor ulu-ulu systems as well as the dharma tirta system and some aspects of the subak system in Bali (particularly the religious aspect). Based on information obtained from studying the various systems, conclusions are made as to how far the dharma tirta system will be able to fulfill the needs of a system of irrigation management in rural areas of central Java.

The paper reviews the economic dimensions of irrigation with water of varying salinity levels, with emphasis on on-farm irrigation problems. The farm-region interactions are dealt with only briefly. The paper commences with a short review of the underlying physical water-soil-crop yield relationships and of the sources of information regarding them. In the next section, empirical estimates of farms' income losses under selected situations are reviewed. The next section discusses the alternatives open to farms to reduce salinity-induced losses and the agro-economic models designed to evaluate them. Several aspects of the farm-region interactions are then reviewed. The final section points to some hopeful frontier-changing innovations currently under study, which, if successfully developed, may drastically change the frame of reference for salinity problems in agriculture.
