Discusses the differences in the irrigation production function and related management functions between paddy and other crops. Advances the theory that, because of the physical parameters of the way water is stored on and drained off paddy fields and the ultra-sensitivity of paddy yields to water stress, paddy irrigation systems have a self-regulating property that leads to a reasonably optimal allocation of water supply between farmers. Thus, in complete contrast to other crops, it is doubtful if management improvements in the form of rationing and rotation of water supply to farmers would result in cost effective improvements over the allocation achieved by naturally functioning systems. Restricts the discussion to the small (less than 1,000 ha.) rivertine paddy irrigation systems characteristic of Southeast Asia and to the high yielding varieties of paddy.
