Attention to a wide range of factors in the design of irrigation infrastructure can help ensure that the completed systems will function satisfactorily. The factors include data on rainfall patterns, soil permeability and topography, crops' water requirements and their response to water stress, costs of alternative construction materials, availability and costs of labor and machines, legal and environmental factors, and social factors such as local leadership, cultural patterns, values, and institutions. The paper describes the application of many of these factors in Malaysia's Muda Irrigation Scheme.
