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.

This paper examines groundwater problems which are emerging in northern India as a consequence of the green revolution. These problems are intrinsically related to the nature of the existing system of groundwater rights and the lack of other groundwater institutions. The economic performance of groundwater rights is analyzed and policy suggestions for the revision of groundwater rights and the promulgation of groundwater regulations are made. In particular, the correlative rights doctrine (a common property-related institution) may be useful in the solution of emerging groundwater problems in northern India.

Tests the hypothesis that, in general, irrigation management transfer has positive impacts on operation performance, managerial accountability, O&M budgeting and expenditures, costs of water to farmers, and agricultural and economic productivity in the Alto Rio Lerma Irrigation District in Mexico. Evaluates the potential of the Mexican IMT process as a model for other countries.
