Over half of the water delivered from the canal system to the watercourses managed by the farmers is not made available to the farmers' crops in Pakistan. Most of this water loss is due to loss of water through the banks of the watercourses. Lack of maintaining these banks and lack of cleaning the watercourse is a result of inadequate organization of the 10 to 150 farmers who use the watercourse, and a deficiency of knowledge concerning the amount of their water which is being lost. Various methods of watercourse improvement have been evaluated including concrete and masonry linings and simple earthen improvements of the ditches with concrete control structures, junctions, and turnouts. With the cost of labor low in Pakistan, the earthen improvements with concrete structures appear to be the best investment. Farm water management improvement programs have been implemented in most of the provinces which include this type of watercourse improvement, land leveling and advice to the farmers on how and when to irrigate his crops to optimize his production. The rate at which personnel can be trained to help the farmers implement these improved water management practices is limiting the rate of implementation.

Examples are drawn from the Indus Basin to explain why on-farm water management problems restrict the output of agricultural products in many LDCs. Data are presented to illustrate the low level of water management knowledge of both the farmers and the current extension agents. Examples of the level of corruption and its effect on the operating system are illustrated. Several requirements that must be met before a large-scale irrigation scheme will actually increase the welfare of LDC farmers are presented.

In the 1980's emphasis will continue on where rural sociology can and must play a major role in action-oriented research, teaching and training, and practical involvement in developing programs. This paper intends to throw more light on one specific area of international challenge - irrigation management.

Discusses the individual and collective irrigation behavior of farmers. Describes why farmers should be involved in the decision -making process. Outlines the constraints to gaining more farmer participation. Delineates some of the major lessons learned about farmer involvement in irrigation in Asia and relates them to situations in India.
