This paper analyses the historical, agronomic, and organizational factors which have led to the radical break with irrigation policies which, since the 1900's in varying forms and circumstances, have until recently approximated to Wittfogels' (1957) model. He associates the emergence of centralized bureaucratic forms of government with the introduction of large-scale irrigation systems. In the case of oriental societies, he contends, despotic political systems were necessary for the maintenance of irrigated agriculture. This paper is not concerned with whether or not Wittfogel's hypothesis has universal applicability, rather it only attempts to trace aspects in Kenyan irrigation policies which vindicate Wittfogel's model.
