Some concepts of organizational and social behavior are presented, and their application illustrated in a social study of three gravity irrigation systems in Southern Luzon, Philippines. The nature of interaction between the farmers and the administration of these systems is explored through the role played by the irrigation ditchtenders. Inter personal relationships between the ditchtenders and the farmers are used to illustrate the importance of institutional factors in irrigation behavior.

Fifteen communal, or village, irrigation systems in Laguna Province were surveyed in 1969. The organization and operation of these systems is described, together with the farmers' evaluation of their irrigation, and estimates of their rice yields.

One of the major objectives of the EWUP has been to experiment with various on-farm practices to see how the irrigation management activities of the farmers may be improved. The practices tested were precision land levelling, irrigation system design (long furrows and border irrigation), irrigation scheduling, field drain elimination, marwa improvement techniques, and specific plant and crop practices. The purpose of this report is to present the farmers' evaluation of each of these practices. Fifty-four farmer programs were conducted in a six season time span beginning in summer season 1980 to winter season 1983. The package of practices introduced generally provided an increase in crop yield for the farmers but the farmers have not accepted the total number of practices. Some practices are too expensive and cannot be supported by the existing institutional setting, some are notfield applicable, and others are not seen as appropriate by the farmers to their present situations. While the practices themselves have demonstrated a positive effect on the yields for the farmers, the questions as to the ability of the farmers to adopt the practices as presented by EWUP still remains to be pursued.

The Kaleya Small Holders' Scheme was begun in 1980 and the settling of the 302 small holders should be completed in 1988. The scheme will use water from the Kafue River to cultivate 1885 hectares of sugar cane for the neighboring Nakambala sugar estate. Two-thirds of the cane will be grown by the small holders each with four hectares holdings, while the remainder will be the responsibility of the Small Holder Company, which manages the scheme. The operation of the scheme, the nature of the crop and the origins and characteristics of the small holders are likely to create a number of difficulties in the establishment of a stable small holder community. Some of these problems are discussed and considerations to be borne in mind for small holder selection and training are outlined.

The book reviews alternative approaches to pre-sanction appraisal of irrigation projects such as those suggested by the Second Irrigation Commission, the World Bank and UNIDO. Details of alternative methodologies and social benefit cost analysis (SBCA) of various technical alternatives have been presented by using the Auranga Reservoir Project in Bihar as an illustration. A computer programme in Fortran 1V has been included as a useful tool for performing necessary appraisals and sensitivity analysis.
