This paper presents and discusses the relevant principles, corollaries and rules of logic in land classification for irrigation suitability determinations. Also included are the generalized methodology and operating procedures. Most of the information used is from the material that has been developed and established by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, modified to fit the Philippine setting. To maintain continuity, the land classification work already undertaken is also included and documented. The functions and uses of the land classification information in conjunction with irrigation water management are explored and stressed. It is recommended that land classification, as well as the institution of improved water management, be undertaken not only for proposed irrigation, drainage and flood control projects prior to authorization, but also in existing irrigation systems prior to rehabilitation or improvement.

Reviews the performance studies of irrigation projects in Bangladesh with attention to both internal and external evaluations. The paper gives a brief description of each project, project objectives, purpose of evaluation, methodology followed, and parameters used. Results of the evaluations, however, are not presented as the paper concentrates on the methodologies issue. Methodologies for evaluation ranged from simple field inspections with random interviews to surveys with full sampling techniques. Although most studies appeared to have been based on secondary sources some internal evaluation studies utilized primary data. Evaluation studies reviewed in the paper suggest that individuals, rather than institutions, have had the initiative to undertake studies dealing with the performance of irrigations systems. The authors also point out that the studies have been heavily biased towards socio-economic aspects of systems with some attention to agronomic issues. The technical and engineering component of the evaluation have been mostly neglected, although this appears to be changing. The paper concludes with three recommendations that the authors feel would be of great help towards enhancing the understanding of past, present, and potential performance of irrigation systems in Bangladesh.

The interpretative summary reviews the observations and impressions of the authors from a seminar on Policy and Management Issues in Irrigation Systems in Southeast Asia. The three basic issues that were discussed at the seminar were (1) alternative strategies to develop irrigation infrastructure; (2) alternative approaches to improve the operations and maintenance (O&M) of irrigation systems; and (3) specific policy options in irrigation development.
