This paper records objectively the historical development, implementation, and management of Pakistan's Salinity Control and Reclamation Projects (SCARPs). Field and management data from SCARP-I, SCARP-II, and Khaipur SCARP are used in the analysis. Direct economic feasibility of the SCARPs is considered and compared with that of private tubewell development.

The purpose of this study is to examine the social factors which affect the water management decision-making of Punjabi farmers in a sample of fifteen Pakistani villages. In essence, the study design is as follows: The focus of inquiry is on three dependent variables-- (1) decisions of farmers to clean watercourses; (2) decisions to change from kacha to pacca warabandi systems of water allocation; and (3) decision to interact with lower level irrigation department employees.

The tools and concepts used in making decisions on water allocation in Indonesia's 274,000-ha river diversion Pekalen Sampean Irrigation Project in East Java are described. Remarkably sophisticated procedures are used to plan cropping systems in relation to expected water supplies, and to adjust water allocations when water shortages arise. Cropping intensities in the study area are commonly 2.5 to 3.0 crops per year. The relationship between water availability and crop performance is explored. Evidence suggests that irrigation blocks with the shortest span of planting dates have the highest yields.

The paper presents different approaches and strategies in the community participation process applied by agencies for irrigation development in Thailand. The discussion includes the type and nature of the problems and solutions to these problems as identified by local irrigation groups and agencies. The paper describes a specific situation in which farmers, government agencies and researchers in northern Thailand met to discuss the irrigation management of small scale systems. The meetings provided an opportunity for local irrigation groups to participate in major decisions from the early stages, strengthen the farmer-agency linkage, develop skills and confidence in the participatory process, increase the local irrigation group's commitment, and develop research and action strategies more relevant to current management problems.
