The paper analyses some of the tools which will be needed to make the management of irrigation systems less of an art and more of a science. The paper is divided into four parts: (1) performance criteria in irrigation management; (2) techniques by means of which performance might be monitored for large-scale irrigation systems; (3) diagnostic tools required for irrigation management and their desirable characteristics; and (4) management tools available for analyzing interventions to improve irrigation performance.

Paper presented at the Institute of Economic Growth Silver Jubilee. National seminar programme, Delhi 27-30 April 1984. This paper argues for a shift in rural development strategy in India to place more water, trees and land securely in the hands of the poor. Practical percepts, including political feasibility, are used to identify and assess major potential thrusts. These include water reform on canal irrigation, equitable access to groundwater, tree holdings on forest and common land, agroforestry for resources-poor farmers, and land purchase to settle the landless.

This paper argues that irrigation development offers an opportunity for equitable distribution of increased incomes. Data are presented to demonstrate that distributional impacts of new irrigation systems may be potentially more significant for or against rural equity than any possible government initiative affecting land ownership or tenancy arrangements. Nevertheless, irrigation systems are often developed with no more than lip service paid to concerns about equity. Therefore, although irrigation expansion can represent an immense opportunity, it could also be a dangerous threat for those interested in equity in rural communities. The paper discusses a variety of approaches that have been used to obtain indications about the distributional impact of irrigation systems. The paper points out that information to date on distribution of incomes from irrigation gives cause for concern. It is argued that irrigation systems can be designed and policies devised to distribute water, and hence benefits, more equitably across areas of large-scale systems and to curtail the extent to which those managing tubewells are able to collect water charges in excess of water costs. The paper concludes that additional studies on the distributional impact of irrigation systems are fully warranted. Furthermore, since distributional issues can be incorporated into evaluations at little extra cost, such issues should be an integral part of any evaluation of performance of irrigation systems.
