Farmers and their local organizations are not only the end receivers in the technology transfer process but are also means of effective horizontal transfer of technologies to other farmers. Farmer organizations are a requisite for the maintenance of many improved technologies which require collective action. The Pakistan case study describes the importance of this concept and the need for irrigation specialists to understand and utilize local farm organizations for water management improvement programs. The unique research-development process developed by Colorado State University in Pakistan has built- in mechanisms for the transfer and maintenance of technologies.

This presents the premises, concepts, perspectives, and vocabulary necessary to place consideration of local farmer irrigation organization into an interdisciplinary perspective in company with the main and farm system irrigation work that has been undertaken by many investigators. It employs a set of concepts to frame an argument about the nature and design of local farmer irrigation organizations, a line of reasoning which is advanced as being useful to policy makers and analysts of local organization and farmer participation in irrigation development.

Reports findings of a study of farmers and main irrigation system officials in a central Indian minor tank irrigation project. Farmers representing six villages and working fields on two head and two tail minor canal commands were studied during 1984 as they struggled to control water to produce crops. Special attention was paid to the manner in which the state irrigation bureaucracy was linked to irrigation.
