The effects of location and hydrologic factors on drought occurrence in the 5,700 ha command area of a lateral in the Philippines' Pe$aranda River Irrigation System were studied. Greater moisture stress was observed on fields located further along major canals. Minimum water requirements for rice increased substantially when fields were allowed to dry out and crack during periods of water scarcity because of increased seepage and percolation through the cracks when water was resupplied.

(Location: IWMI-HQ Call no: P 1258 Record No: H01520)
A comparison is made between the two major types of water allocation systems in Yemen: Seasonal flood (sayl) and highland spring flow (ghayl). Constraints in the nature of water as a flowing resource are defined for each system. The major distinctions between the two types of systems are variability in water flow (which influences the determination of access rights), techniques of water control, measurement of water turns, the need for supervision of irrigation activities, and the potential for economic expansion of the production system. It is argued that tribal political organization is an adaptive response to highland spring flow allocation in Yemen, but undergoes stress in coastal flood systems where competition for the same water source extends across tribal boundaries in upstream-down- stream conflict.

Under "increasing water scarcity" it is argued that (1) present schemes for the provision of portable water to rural populations in developing countries are terrible, inefficient, absorbing vast resources and experiencing high failure rates; (2) conflicts between irrigation and hydro-power which emerged in the 1960's have been given a sudden twist by the international petroleum situation and need to be re-evaluated; (3) there are increasing concerns about the trade-offs between consumptive water uses in agriculture and the maintenance of coastal ecosystems, including valuable fisheries; (4) water related development projects often have the effect of worsening the already skewed distribution of wealth. Environmental considerations do not receive high priority in LDC's. Yet, industrial developments and urban population concentrations are having highly detrimental environmental impacts which need to be controlled and/or taken into account in planning. The development of other natural resources requires less water than commonly assumed. Horticultural and dryland opportunities which use very small quantities of water are widely overlooked. The incredibly important problems of range management under traditional (tribal) social systems are closely geared to water management. While high value mineral development can bear very high water costs, new low value mineral-water combinations are needed to broaden the relevant resource bases for the semi-arid LDC's.
