Two Colombian projects show how local farmers can manage an irrigation system in a developing country if the management and personnel are well trained and motivated and if the infrastructure is in good condition at the time management is turned over to the farmers.

Modern Water Control in Irrigation: Concepts, Issues, and Applications. This paper is a contribution to the debate on how to transfer modern irrigation concepts and technology to developing countries. In modern schemes, irrigation is provided as a service to users that should be as efficient and convenient as possible. The authors argue that modern irrigation design is a thought process that starts with the definition of a proper operational plan. Scheme layout and equipment selection should be done in light of the operational objectives and the requirements of the farming systems. The paper addresses technological aspects but it is not a design manual. After an initial discussion of objectives and definitions, the paper reviews various elements of irrigation design and presents technological options. Additional design aspects related to maintenance, user participation, cost recovery and sustainability are discussed.

(Location: IWMI-HQ Call no: PER Record No: H015504)
This paper looks at the World Bank's experience with irrigation and drainage projects and compares their performance expected at appraisal stage with the performance re-assessed at completion and at the time of impact evaluation, typically 3 to 5 years later when projects have reached their full potential. This review confirms the over-optimistic assumptions of project performance at appraisal and completion stages. The deficiencies in water distribution are far greater than suspected, affecting cropping intensity and crop yields much more than originally thought. An important lesson from this memo is the need to adopt more realistic values of key parameters in the preparation of irrigation projects.

This rapid appraisal study compares the actual and projected performance of a large, rice monoculture irrigation project in the humid climate of the Caspian Sea in Iran. The uniqueness of this project is the co-existence of East-Asia rice farming techniques with advanced technologies of automatic water control found generally in the Mediterranean countries. The paper emphasizes the need to do field tests at the design stage in order to make realistic assumptions on water efficiency and deep percolation. The study confirms that the advanced water control technologies are appropriate for small farm irrigation projects in the humid tropics, a conclusion often debated among experts. The Guilan project now provides some evidence to support that conclusion.
