Problems affecting the management of water resources in developing countries are identified and discussed. These include short-term planning, water rights, inability to learn from experience, planning in isolation, the "think big" syndrome, lack of direct accountability, shortage of resources, lack of socio-economic analysis, the bureaucratic bias, absence of an ecological overview, and the problem of incrementalism. These problems are applied to the Canadian scene and those involved in water policy and management are challenged in a series of searching questions. It is seen that the management of Canadian water resources, in practice, has many shortcomings and would benefit from the hard-won experiences of Third World countries.

The Province of Alberta has a mandatory land irrigability classification system. Land must be classified as suitable for irrigation before water can be issued. The system has six land classes of which the first four are irrigable. The Canadian Soil Classification System is used for describing soils which, together with parent material, soil profile, textual classes, soil chemistry and landscape features determine the limitations and the irrigability class. The system has developed over a number of years and the latest revision dates from 1983.

The agricultural drought impact evaluation model is used in this paper to evaluate the economic impact of a drought mitigating strategy-development of small scale irrigation. The area selected for the study was the north -western region Saskatchewan. A total of 16000 irrigated acres, distributed as 400 plots of 40 acres each, were developed as forage plots. This resulted in higher yields and release of some land for other dry land crop production. Increase in net farm income was $51 per irrigated acre under no drought, and reduced slightly to $48 per irrigated acre under a one year drought but increased to $61 per irrigated acre under a two year drought. There was a gain of $1.7 to $2.5 million in terms of gross domestic product under no drought to a two year drought. Thus small scale irrigation development provides a stabilizing effects on existing livestock operations during years of drought.
