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.

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.
