The present system of pricing of irrigation water in the gravity irrigation systems of the Philippines results in inefficient allocation and use of water. Furthermore, the low price of water results in the capitalization of irrigation benefits into land values. Hence, landowners are the major beneficiaries. Gradually increasing the price of water so that it is more in line with its opportunity cost under optimum management would improve the economic efficiency of water use and encourage the collection of government revenues for further public investment. As soon as practicable, water should be metered directly to farmers' paddy fields and the water charged based upon the amount actually diverted.

A survey of 52 small-scale pumping units in Quezon and Batangas provinces in 1971-72 reveals that pump irrigated rice farms had positive net returns, with the wet season returns slightly greater than those of the dry season. But pump systems in the study areas performed poorly. They had low pump discharge rates and served limited areas. Four inch pumps had a greater average pump discharge than 5-inch pumps operating even at lower revolutions per minute. No substantial differences were found in yields of farms irrigated from different water table depths, or of different soil types. There were significant differences in pump discharge among soil types although they were not significant with respect to depth of water table. It was also found that area served was more dependent on available irrigable land than on soil type or water table depth. The study revealed that water is often conveyed through poorly maintained earth canals which we believe considerably reduced the efficiency of water use. The most common method of irrigation fee payment is 20 percent of net product shared by the tenant and landlord in both the wet and dry seasons. The major problem of pump owners is the lack of cash for pump repairs.

This paper describes the Madura Groundwater Irrigation Project training program for tubewell operators and officers of the water users' associations. Background information on the overall project is given and the water management program is described. The majority of the paper examines in detail the training program that was designed and implemented to prepare the officials of the water users' associations to operate effectively and maintain the tubewells constructed in the system. A companion paper by Martin Burton (86/1d) describes a similar program to train irrigation staff in the East Java Irrigation Service.

Examines the social, technical, and economic aspects of the massive investment in groundwater development in Pakistan and Bangladesh. Describes many of the physical parameters of the two systems which rely heavily on tube wells in order to focus on government policy concerning groundwater development and documents the economic and social impacts of the policies. The first two sections detail groundwater development and management in Pakistan and Bangladesh respectively. The final two sections discuss the social and economic impacts and the long-term implications of current policies. Lastly, the author draws some conclusions that may be used by the two countries, or other countries, as they expand groundwater development in the future.

Describes the main problems encountered by the World Bank in financing irrigation and drainage projects and outlines the procedures which the Bank is adopting to improve performance. Delays in project execution and subsequent cost overruns are attributed to shortcomings in technical preparation, planning, procurement, and funding. Poor scheme performance is linked with deficiencies in management and operation and maintenance. The benefits of involving farmers in scheme design and of including on-farm works in projects are discussed. Gerald Lacey memorial lecture.
