This paper is based on field data collected on a tank and an anicut irrigation system in Moneragala district. It attempts to understand the differences in institutional arrangements for irrigation water management as a consequence of differences in water source. The paper shows how with State penetration the institutional apparatus for irrigation management introduced at the local levels by the State has resulted in the blurring of differences that could have been attributed to the irrigation source. The paper also demonstrates how State penetration has contributed to a diminishing of the importance of the irrigation system from a social point of view while conversely increasing its importance from an economic point of view, not the least because of the increased value which irrigation has given to paddy land. The question which remains to be answered is what the consequences of increased State involvement, irrigation system refurbishment and in subsequent irrigation management are for issues of irrigation efficiency and equity in distribution.
